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.

@pkohler91 @lauraj46 At this time there isn’t a way to have a dashboard parameter get inserted into the link widget type parameter, at least currently.

Other widget types have the option in the Filter Settings to check the box for ‘Use Parameter’, telling the widget to also consider the added dashboard parameter, but Link type widget does not have this consideration.

I think it could help the functionality of the widget type though so I would recommend adding this to the ideas to get the Dev team to consider it as well as show interest in supporting this from other users

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.
