The instructions below explain how to parameterize an Analyzer report.

This process only applies to dashboards which include parameterized Analyzer reports. You must have an Analyzer report with a query parameter in it in order to proceed.

  1. In Analyzer, choose a field in your report to which you want to link, then right-click and select Filter. The Filter dialog box opens. In the example below, data will be filtered by Territory.
