Filtering one dashboard to another

[Simant_Sah]

Hey there,

I’ve a main dashboard that has the names of all the managers. What I want is if I click on any manager a new dashboard will open which will have his team members filtered by that manager.

I’ve read the docs but I’m not getting it. Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thank you!

Just a snap-shot of what I’m doing:

Created a url on Manager Name so I can filter the manager name on dashboard number 37 and see his team on dashboard number 38. Below is the LookML code

Here’s the snap-shot of dashboard number 37

Here’s the snap-shot of dasboard number 38

So, when I click on the manager name in dashboard 37, I got an option to open the dashboard 38. However, the Managers filter is not working.

Can you please let me know what am I missing here?

Thanks!

Hey @Simant_Sah!

The lookML you’re applying in the link is not entirely correct, you’re using the syntax to apply filters on Looks and not Dashboards.

Try with this:

url: "/dashboards/38?Manager={{ value | url_encode }}"

Hey Cyril,

It worked like a charm. Thanks a lot for your help here. Appreciate it.

I tried both with _filters and without _filter, but the link is not working for me.

href="https://*****.looker.com/dashboards/<dashboarnum>?Isbn13={{ _filters['Product_Standard.isbn13'] | url_encode }}&Business%20Unit%20Cd={{ _filters['Product_Standard.business_unit_cd'] | url_encode }}

the code itself is getting passed into the filter.
