Hi,
I have a filter (parameter) on my dashboard is which limited by another filter using “Dependent Filters”. This is also done for security reasons. We have one big database for multiple clients.
Filter 1 = Site. The user selects a site. Filter 2 = Vehicles. This filter is limited to the vehicles for the selected site. However when we use the search function on the filter it is returning (showing) every vehicle for every site. How can we limit the search on this filter to only the subset allowed?
Cheers,
Jen
Search limited to subset of data
Hi @jennifer.claughton,
The purpose of the dependent filters isn’t to provide security but rather to help users narrow search criteria as they filter the results. I don’t believe you are going to get what you want using dependent filters alone.
If security is your goal, look into the security hierarchy which will hide results that are not allowed for specific users or groups of users. Using this method, you’ll also likely help with the performance issues that you mention.
If you’re still having issues, it might be worth talking to support for a deeper conversation.
