UBAQ filters filling with returned data after DB loads

Good afternoon all,

I have a predicament involving an updatable BAQ dashboard that has some un-customized filters applied to it.

This dashboard began as a classic dashboard with custom tracker filters. It also had a customization applied to it to trigger a refresh after the user hit save.

I have recently been tasked with converting this DB to Kinetic. From prior experience, I know that classic trackers with customized filters don’t fare well when uplifted to Kinetic. I opted to delete them, re-create them using the defaults, and then uplift the DB using this post.(How To: Kinetic Dashboard Uplifts).

After removing the customized tracker and replacing it with the default tracker and generating the application, I noticed a strange occurrence with the filters.

When the dashboard finished retrieving records, the filters of the tracker populated with data from the returned results of the UBAQ. Even after removing them from the slide out panel and placing them on a separate panel card like what is shown in the post above, the issue persisted.

Please note that the tracker does not have it’s Updatable parameter set.

I have tried using BAQ parameters with this dashboard but unfortunately when the refresh on save layer is applied this causes the BAQ parameters to reappear after every save.

Any insights on how to circumvent the returned data populating the tracker filters is deeply appreciated!

Thank you.

That was handled by the Input Prompts Only in your classic screenshot.

Is that also set in the new version?

I did assure to have that checked prior to generating the application. I just double checked and re-generated the app and the issue still persists :frowning_face: . However, I did generate the application through the classic “Dashboard” screen. I don’t appear to have access to the Kinetic iteration of said screen, has it been published by Epicor in future versions? Currently we are on 2024.1.21.

After you generate the dashboard, it should be available in Application Studio.

I do think you get a warning, but remember not to deploy that dashboard after modifying it in Application Studio or it will overwrite the created application.

Chad, Thanks for the input! I have launched the DB in app studio successfully but I can’t seem to find the setting to make the filters “Input Prompts Only”. I think I need to set an event after the search initialization event completes to clear the filters back out? I will give that a shot and report back.

Well. I ended up ditching the dashboard provided tracker entirely and wiring up my own filters using TransView. Hats off to Hannah’s comment on this post (Uplift Kinetic Dashboard - Tracker is Read Only? - #5 by hmwillett). I would mark it a solution if I could!
