Connecting to parameters in Amazon QuickSight
Use this section after you have a parameter set up, to connect it and make it work.
After you create a parameter, you can create consumers of the parameters. Parameter consumers are components that consume the value of a parameter, such as filters, controls, calculated fields, or custom actions.
You can choose your next step from the shortcuts on this screen.
You can navigate to each of these options in another way, as follows:
-
To create a filter, choose the Filter
icon at the top of the page. In
short, you create a Custom Filter and enable Use
parameters. The list shows only eligible parameters. -
To add a new control for the parameter, choose the Parameters
icon at the top of the page. In short, choose your parameter, and then Add control. -
To use a parameter in a calculated field, either edit an existing calculated field, or add a new one by choosing Add at the top left. The parameter list appears below the field list.
Note
You can't use multivalue parameters with calculated fields.
-
To create a URL action, choose the v-shaped menu on a visual, and then choose URL Actions.
