Create dynamic data links with variables as parameters

[tracy-french]

Desired UX: Create dynamic links from one dashboard to another without having to hardcode parameters for every bioreactor.

Preferred solution: Want to be able to use something like ${__data.fields.} to access the asset-id & timestamp and pass it as a parameter in a link.

Of the recently reported requests, this is 3rd in priority.

Desired functionality:
Create dynamic links from one dashboard to another without having to hardcode parameters for every bioreactor.

Suggested Solution:
Want to be able to use something like ${__data.fields.} to access the asset-id & timestamp and pass it as a parameter in a link.

Existing workaround:
Create separate panels one for each asset and hard code the asset IDs in the data links. It is a maintenance burden and needs to be updated for each environment.

What is source query and result? Is there a reason we can not use ${__data.fields.}? Is the problem that you want the query value as part of the link?

@tracfren Are you able to provide the answer to the above?

I want to be able to pass the asset name from the original Sitewise query as a parameter to another dashboard to implement a drill-down. A sitewise query does make the asset available as a parameter. When I pull the list of available parameters (by typing $ in the data link editor) the asset name or ID are not an option

@toddtreece does this now have enough info?

@roygv if i am understanding correctly, it seems like you could use dashboard variables for this workflow.

1. define a variable for the assets:

2. add the variable to your panel query:

3. add the variable to a panel data link:

4. repeat steps 1 & 2 for the target dashboard using the same variable name (in this example query0)

5. click on a data link in the source dashboard, and it should set the variable in the target dashboard. in my example, the link URL ends up looking like this when it's rendered

http://localhost:3000/d/4AtLr7kVz/1-state-timeline?var-query0=e64c9075-9d89-47cb-8ee5-d3251bd253f4&orgId=1
