Description
The Parameters tab in the property menu of Dashboards and Forms allows configuration of:
Incoming Parameters
Fixed Filters
Together, these mechanisms provide controlled data filtering at the dataclip level.
Incoming Parameters define filterable inputs for specific dataclips. Fixed Filters assign values to those parameters automatically.
All filtering logic is applied using AND conditions.
Incoming Parameters
Description
An Incoming Parameter defines a filter input for a specific:
Dataclip
Header (field) within that dataclip
It allows external or internal processes to inject a value that filters the dataclip’s data.
Each parameter is strictly bound to one dataclip and one header.
Configuration Options
Name
Yes
Recognizable identifier of the parameter.
Description
No
Informational description used for management purposes.
Dataclip
Yes
The dataclip to which the parameter applies.
Header
Yes
The specific header (field) within the selected dataclip.
Required
No
If enabled, data will not load unless the parameter receives a value.
Type Handling
The parameter type is implicitly determined by the selected header type.
Examples:
Numeric header → Numeric parameter
Date header → Date parameter
Text header → Text parameter
Type validation follows the dataclip header definition.
Behavior
A parameter applies only to its configured dataclip.
Multiple parameters can target the same dataclip.
When multiple parameters apply to the same dataclip, they are combined using AND logic.
Example: UserId = 12 AND Department = 'Sales'
Best Practices
Use Required for sensitive datasets.
Use User type filters for row-level security.
Avoid multiple parameters targeting the same header.
Use Variables carefully when allowing user-editable values.
Logically separate system-driven filters (Fixed) from navigation-driven parameters.
