dashboard parameter not working in List Widget filter

Products

• DX Unified Infrastructure Management (Nimsoft / UIM)

Issue/Introduction

I have created a dashboard in Dashboard Designer which contains some parameters.

I am trying to make a List Widget and use one of the parameters in the filter selection, for example, setting the parameter to match an Origin and then trying to filter systems based on that parameter:

 

However, the group always comes up empty.

Environment

DX UIM Operator Console - All versions
Dashboard Designer portlet

Cause

Working as designed.

Resolution

Parameters in dashboards can only be used in datasources, and the filter selection for a List Widget is not considered a datasource, it is part of the widget itself. 

Widgets are not aware of parameters, only the datasources that attach to widgets are aware of them.
