Updateable BAQ - Parameter drop down

Yahoo Archive
1
I don't have the details at my fingertips to give you a step by step example but if you link it to Plants table you should get only the plants in that table.  Also if you deploy the dashboard you can do more under the hood customization where you should be able to limit the plants to a subset of plants if there are more plants in plants then you want to show plants versus the total number of plants.  :)

Is there a way to have a parameter drop down selection on an updateable BAQ?  We want to be able to select from an option of three plant locations (i.e. GA, WI, MN) from the jobhead.plant field.  If we can't select from the jobhead.plant field, is there a way to manually enter those selections into a drop down item to select from the jobhead.plant field?

If you put it into a dashboard you can customize it to use a combo.

You could add a parameter to the BAQ set as a dropdownlist type that can pull from another BAQ. Whenever the use hits refresh they will be presented with this dropdown to filter.

Is there a way to set it up as a parameter prompt instead of a tracker combo in the dashboard?  The reason for doing this is to limit the number of selections at the BAQ level through a parameter instead of a filter combo on the dashboard for performance.

We tried this but can we pull from the same BAQ?  When we tried this, we were getting all the data in the drop down list even though we only have three plants.  We didn’t want to have to pull from a separate BAQ.  If this isn’t possible, can we manually create the drop down list selection to query off of the jobhead.plant field?
