Cognos Analytics

Hello,

I'm using version 11.1.7. I use a local filter in a dashboard - widget. I don't use this field in the graph, i'ts only in the local filter field. 
Now i've defined a drill-through to a report.
The value for the local filter is not passed in the drill through, although i've defined the mapping for it.
I've found a workaround to add this field in the repeat-section. But i assume it should be normal behavior that this filter is passed in the drill-through.
Anyone has the same problem ?

I have experienced the same issue. Local Filters are not passed to the Drill Through Definition. Only Fields that exists within the Dashboard - Widgets gets passed into Drill Through. Workaround is to include the Local Filter field within the Widget which may or may not be practical in all the business scenarios.

This is one of the several gaps in the Dashboard. As also Unlike in reports  there is no way to hide the Fields within the Dashboard Widgets which would have been used as a good workaround if existed to include the Local filter field into Widget and hide it.

Hi Filip,

I don't know if I´ve understood correctly your post but local filters are being passed in the drill through in our Dashboards. At least with Summary Widget it is working well. I did not check if the problem you mentioned occurs with other widgets.
