How to pass a dashboard parameter to a generic inquiry parameter

Hi @pkohler91 In this case the Link Widget is used for Forms (Customer entry, Vendor entry), Reports, and Dashboards, but from what I can tell GIs are not included in that.

It seems to work better with Selector type parameters but I was able to use the following to populate the AR Invoice report:

Let me know if this helps

Hi @BenjaminCrisman ,

In your example the parameter is static. I’m not sure if the original poster @pkohler91 had this in mind or not, but I’m curious if there’s a way to pass the parameter dynamically.  For example on the Customer View dashboard there’s a dashboard parameter to filter that dashboard by customer.  Is it possible to configure a Link widget on a dashboard that would open the Customer screen and pass in the Customer parameter from the dashboard?

@BenjaminCrisman and @lauraj46.

Laura is correct, I am looking for a way to pass a parameter dynamically from a dashboard to the Link widget.

Any updated functionality on this limitation? 

@asmith50 - Doesn’t seem to of had any movement. Hoping to see traction on this idea since to help with larger data set processing. As mentioned by other users, the Condition Filter burdens a much larger resource pool than Parameters and greatly slows the Dashboard loading time.

Hi ​@BenjaminCrisman 

I have a report on my dashboard that I would like to use this link widget.

The Parameter that you show here look close to what I would need, but I need it dynamic much like this original question wanted for the GI.

I have a parameter to choose a customer account ID on the dashboard itself, and I was wondering if it is possible for me to pull that parameter into the reports parameter through this widget.

I was thinking something like this:

Is this at all possible? I’m sure my expression is off if so. 

Or is this not something acumatica can do?

​@bodiec It looks like at this time the option of inserting the dynamic Dashboard parameter into the link widget is still not an option. I tested with some different configurations this time than I did last time and I really tried everything it feels like, but no success. I think the widget would need to be customized to have the Filter Settings option added to it.

I would recommend to vote on the idea linked above so we can get more visibility on the issue.
