Do the dashboard trackers apply to the related BAQ? Or they are just applied to the results of the underneath BAQ?
Please rephrase your question. I’m not sure what you are asking.
Banderson,
Thank you. My question is:
Assuming I have a dashboard with a BAQ query. The dashboard has trackers. If I run the dashboard, will the BAQ use the dashboard trackers as criteria to query? Or the BAQ will not use the dashboard trackers to query and the dashboard trackers only apply on the BAQ results after BAQ finishes its query?
If I understand correctly, I believe it will use the tracker. Large queries that might take some time to load will be waaay faster if you narrow down the rows using the tracker.
The real answer is it depends. It “parameterized” it so that it runs faster when you have criteria, but the results are post aggregate if you have a BAQ that uses aggregation. So depending on the BAQ, it’s before or after retrieval. Data wise, it’s after, performance wise, it’s before most of the time.
Thank you, Ducker and Banderson. I asked this question because I have performance and data concerns.
