Configuring Entity Selections to Apply Only to Charts, Not Data View Grid

Hello Team,

I have a page with entity selectors, corresponding charts, and a data view. However, I need these selections to apply only to the charts, not to the data view grid. In other words, they should not sync with the grid. How can I implement this?

Hi @Maik Burghardt ,

please have a look into our manual regarding that point:

https://help.board.com/docs/the-layout-select

In general, you can say that the "To"-option overrides any selection having been made on the screen.

Let me know if you have further trouble in understanding.

Hi @Shobika ,

in that case you would need to set up a layout selection for the dataview that includes all desired selections in a "To"-mode; that would override any selection on the screen.

Hi Helmut,

Is there any tutorial about that topic? I don't understand the "To"-mode.

Hi Helmut, Even if we use "To" mode in the layout selections it's not dynamic.

What if new items are added to the list? Will I need to manually enable each new item?

Thanks,

Hi @Shobika ,

yes, you're correct there—it is in no way dynamic, and if there are new members they will have to be added manually to the select. In that case I'd suggest to use a defining parent entity so that by selecting the parent you'll automatically get all relevant members, even if they are new.

What other dynamics do you want to achieve?

Thanks Helmut, this solution worked.
