Parameter Mapping helps you refine your filters by letting you specify which Dashlets and which parameters are affected by a filter.
To open the Parameter Mapping window, complete the following steps:
From the Repository, open a Dashboard (with filters) in the Dashboard Designer.
Click the Parameter Mapping icon to open the Parameter Mapping window.
The Parameter Mapping window displays the filter-to-dashlet mapping, and includes the following columns and buttons:
Column/Button | Description |
|---|---|
| Source DashletColumn | This column displays the name of the dashlet where the filter originates. Filter Groups (multiple filters in a single dashlet) or Manually Created Filters (filters created using Parameter Mapping, as described below) may also be displayed. |
| Filter/ParameterColumn | This column displays the name of the filter. |
| Dashlet AffectedColumn | This column displays a dropdown menu including all dashlets that can be affected by the filter. |
| Filter/Parameter Affected Column | This column displays a dropdown menu including all parameters associated with the selected dashlet in the Dashlet Affected column. |
Add Button  | Click this button to add additional dashlet/parameter combinations. |
Delete Button  | Click this button to delete a dashlet/parameter combination. |
From the Parameter Mapping window, you can add, delete, or edit an existing dashlet/parameter combination, and create a new filter to add to the dashboard.
