Parameter Mapping helps you refine your filters by letting you specify which Dashlets and which parameters are affected by a filter.

To open the Parameter Mapping window, complete the following steps:
 

1. From the Repository, open a Dashboard (with filters) in the Dashboard Designer.

   
   
   

2. Click the Parameter Mapping icon to open the Parameter Mapping window.

   
   
   

The Parameter Mapping window displays the filter-to-dashlet mapping, and includes the following columns and buttons:
 

Column/Button	Description
Source Dashlet Column	This column displays the name of the dashlet where the filter originates. Filter Groups (multiple filters in a single dashlet) or Manually Created Filters (filters created using Parameter Mapping, as described below) may also be displayed.
Filter/Parameter Column	This column displays the name of the filter.
Dashlet Affected Column	This column displays a dropdown menu including all dashlets that can be affected by the filter.
Filter/Parameter Affected Column	This column displays a dropdown menu including all parameters associated with the selected dashlet in the Dashlet Affected column.
Add Button	Click this button to add additional dashlet/parameter combinations.
Delete Button	Click this button to delete a dashlet/parameter combination.

From the Parameter Mapping window, you can add, delete, or edit an existing dashlet/parameter combination, and create a new filter to add to the dashboard.
