    Hi all,

    I would like to hide the filters icon in a dashboard. Do you know if it's possible?

    Thanks,

    I don't think it is possible. But I know about a workaraound; instead of adding filters, create custom data items, and make case-statements, that includes all the filters you need. eg. case when [month] = 2 then [revenue] else null end.

    Javier Sendra – assuming you are talking about the filter icon on the visualization, you could drop a small shape (rectangle or circle) with a color that matches the background of your canvas on top of the filter to hide it.  It is not the ideal solution, but works until Cognos works in a property for this.

     

    Hope this helps.

    @Javier Sendra
    Globally hide the filtericon on all dashboards:
    Set visibility to hidden for the class .widgetIcons or .dataWidgetFilters. You can overwrite any CSS rules by uploading a theme that holds the perspective common.

    Hide the icon in just one dashboard:
    Use a custom visualization - with javascript inside that visualization you can hide the filter icon visibility.

    In the globalTheme you can also upload javaScript which is loaded any time you hit the portal. Inside that you could identify any start of dashboard and then dynamically disable the icon according to programatic rules like username, group belonging to, dashboard name ....

    Hi Harie,

    thanks for the suggestion, I already found the link in another forum. This extension is ecaxtly what I was looking for a long time now. Unfortunately it is not working in my environment. Everytime I enable the feature it works while working with the Dashboard. As soon as I close and open the Dashboard the filters are visible again. Maybe someone has the same situation?

    Thanks and cheers,
    Timm

    Hi Harie,

    That link isn't working for me. Is it still valid? Or do you have another link to the extension?

    Thanks

    Just look at the IBM Accelerator website and search for the extension. It's still there.

    Hi Robert,

    I've installed the extension and neither setting this on the dashboard or the widget is working.  It hides it but when I save it and reopen, the filter is back.  This is v 11.1.7 fp3

    Hi Amy,

    I've tested it with 11.1.7 FP2 and it works perfectly with the option specified on the widget itself. Your're right: the global option for the whole dashboard does not work :-/

    I've written an extension as part of CogBox that lets you toggle the visibility of the filter, insights, and the selected item border. It'll be part of the new release, hopefully next week.
