Global Selection Pages

The Global Selection Pages lets you define selection pages that are linked to global parameters. Global selection page enable consistent filtering across views, dashboards, reports, and workbooks.

A selection page presents users with prompts to pick one or more values before data is displayed. If the linked Global Parameter defines a data type, user input is validated automatically.

When to use global selection pages

• Defining reusable filter pages: Create centralized selection page templates linked to global parameters for consistent filtering across multiple views, dashboards, reports, and workbooks.
• Ensuring consistent filtering logic: Design standardized prompts and validation rules that apply everywhere a global parameter is used, reducing duplication and improving accuracy.
