Hello Ingo,
Answer to your questions:
you mentioned that each tab uses several query views but based on one BEx Query - correct ?
<Bhanu> Yes. You are correct.
The Filter also needs a "source" and from what you describe it sounds you have at least one BEx query per tab as source - correct ?
<Bhanu> Correct. The source for filter a different Bex Query only with characteristics required for
if that is the case I would also expect a filter per tab as the different queries might have a different set of characteristics and key figures.
<Bhanu> All the queries have some common characteristics and we want to filter all the queries based on only those characteristics. To be exact we have characteristics like Cost Center Hierarchy, Country (Hierarchy), Function Code etc which are common to all the queries. So that is the main reason why we want only one filter for entire dashboard rather than having one filter panel per tab. Also I have additional requirement to drill down on the charts to open another popup window with the details (based on filtered criteria plus the drilldown selection in the chart).
You mentioned that you do need the query views per tab at the same time - correct ?
if that is the case you would need to load all the query views for the tab
<Bhanu> You are correct. I want to load query views per tab but they should be filtered based on the selection criteria in the "Filter Panel".
Regards,
Bhanu
