When designing your dashboard, you may want to include a widget that displays information related to an object selected in another grid or count widget in the dashboard. For example, the widget TagList displays a list of tags and, when a tag in that list is selected, the widget CRList updates to display any ongoing change requests related to the selected tag.
To do this, when creating the widget that depends on another widget, use a variable called WIDGET_<WIDGET NAME>_<PROPERTY TO RETURN> in the URL field to represent the object selected in another widget. For example, the variable WIDGET_TAGLIST_ID is the Id of the selected object in the widget with the name TagList.
For example, to configure the widget CRList as described above, type the following in the URL field:
Tags({{WIDGET_TAGLIST_ID}})/SDATagsChangeRequest?$filter=Status eq 'IN PROGRESS' or
Status eq 'OPEN' or Status eq 'APPROVED'&$select=Name,Description,Status
To create a widget that displays the related data from a section of a chart widget, you can use the Drill down URL in the URL field.
