Is there a way to share the tracker criteria between multiple queries in a dashboard? I don’t want to use the publish/subscribe because I don’t want to filter the other query windows on the exact part number. I want to filter on “starts with” which is what the initial tracker view filters for. ![image](https://epiusers.help/uploads/default/original/2X/1/14d53dc460a74d3eb4dec176a31cc5866cec9f01.png) ---

If anyone is interested, I accomplished this by adding tracker views to each grid, deploying the dashboard as an assembly, and writing some script that populated the other 2 tracker views based on the input of the first one. Here’s the script: ``` public class Script { // **Wizard Insert Location - Do Not Remove 'Begin/End Wizard Added Module Level Variables' Comments!** // Begin Wizard Added Module Level Variables ** private EpiTextBox partNum; private EpiTextBox ordersPart; private EpiTextBox quotesPart; // End Wizard Added Module Level Variables ** // Add Custom Module Level Variables Here ** public void InitializeCustomCode() { // **Wizard Insert Location - Do not delete 'Begin/End Wizard Added Variable Initialization' lines** // Begin Wizard Added Variable Initialization this.partNum = (EpiTextBox)csm.GetNativeControlReference("afe02e6a-a71c-47bf-84f8-a17e021a83f8"); this.ordersPart = (EpiTextBox)csm.GetNativeControlReference("777a0cc2-b76b-454e-881a-21a2a37f4e15"); this.quotesPart = (EpiTextBox)csm.GetNativeControlReference("f3c72eee-ec34-43ac-b7df-e33a9bab7f02"); // End Wizard Added Variable Initialization // Begin Wizard Added Custom Method Calls this.partNum.Validated += new System.EventHandler(this.partNum_Validated); // End Wizard Added Custom Method Calls } public void DestroyCustomCode() { // **Wizard Insert Location - Do not delete 'Begin/End Wizard Added Object Disposal' lines** // Begin Wizard Added Object Disposal this.partNum = null; this.ordersPart = null; this.quotesPart = null; this.partNum.Validated -= new System.EventHandler(this.partNum_Validated); // End Wizard Added Object Disposal // Begin Custom Code Disposal // End Custom Code Disposal } private void partNum_Validated(object sender, System.EventArgs args) { // **Place Event Handling Code Here** try { string searchOpts = partNum.Value.ToString(); if( searchOpts != "" ) { ordersPart.Value = searchOpts; quotesPart.Value = searchOpts; } } catch{} } } ``` ---

Thank you sir, I need to something very similar. ---

Arron / Willetta: ``` How did you handle the 'dashboard refresh' ? I am finding that I still need '2' refreshes if I have 2 tracker views - whichever tracker I was last 'in' is the one that the refresh works for. ``` ---

Have you enabled “Refresh All” in the dashboard? ---

Yes I have that enabled. ![](https://epiusers.help/uploads/default/original/1X/f464dd1c7c382c015b3fc53eebe1cd1aadffee61.jpg) ---

That’s all that was required for me. Make sure you’re actually clicking on the refresh all icon and not the normal one. A few of my users get confused by that. ![image](https://epiusers.help/uploads/default/original/2X/8/819a877238de03006129df6ec7d114ab4af77620.png) ---

Aaron, After taking another look , I believe my issue is I am still ‘subscribing / publishing’ between queries – which I don’t need to do if I am Controlling the secondary tracker input thru code. I am basically presenting this customized dashboard as an application to the user, they will be required to input only Tracker 1 and ‘refresh all’ . Thank you , I have more work to do. ---

Thanks for putting your solution to this. It seems to be what I’m trying to do. I take it you didn’t find any other solution? It seems to me there should be a way to use the publish (from the Tracker view) and subscribe in the other query, but I can’t work out how to see the published tracker view in the filter of the other query. Also, did you hide the unwanted panels? ---

Honestly, this has been working and haven’t had the need to dig any deeper, so I stuck with it. I pseudo hid them; I made the with of the tab as small as I could make it. If I recall, I think I had issues if I outright hid it, but it’s been awhile, so I don’t fully recall. ---

I guess I should stop trying to make it work how I think it should work and just use the less than ideal (IMO) solution.
