Dashboard and BAQ parameter from "Open With ..."

I think if you set your field properties on the calculated field to be like Part.Partnum, you should be able to set a filter on the BAQ as a primary browse. Then when you do the open with, it will populate that part number. I’d have to play with it to see if I could get it to work. [image] [image] [image] There might be more setup to get it to work. I end up making those with a little too much trial and error, and I’m not always sure what ends up working why, I just quit when it does.

Context Menu parameters

[image] [image] [image] This only works with the filter on the query (not filtering on the grid property) and only on some fields. Usually the primary ones like part etc. If it works, at the bottom of the list will be dashboard browse, otherwise you’re mostly out of luck.

will help you do just that.
