lightning dashboard filter

Without using Einstein Analytics, what would it take to be able to link a dashboard which automatically selects a filter based on the link that I sent the user, so the user won't have to select the filters? This would be useful in our case where a dashboard have as many as 50 filters at a time.

HI Richard,
Can you elaborate on your ask? Is it possible to provide screenshot of what you are trying to achieve. Thanks

Hi Swetha, I just want a link that would go to a specific dashboard and then apply the filter automatically by default. Because right now if you just copy a link from the browser and go to the dashboard using that link, you would still have to apply a filter. Which would be repetitive for the user.

Thanks for clarifying, Richard.

You can enable views (if you haven't done already), then create a view with your filters and save that view. Once you have it as a saved view, you can click on Share -> GET URL and select Open link in Analytics studio.

You can share this link with other users and they will see the dashboard with filters applied. They can always roll back their view to the default one.

Hope this helps you. Please mark this answer as best so that others facing the same issue will find this information useful. Thank you
