Restrict the hierarchy levels in page selector

GuruAP

Hi - I have a hierarchy with, say, 3 levels - level 3 being the child. I have a module with level 3 as one of my dimension. For some valid reasons, I want to restrict in the page selector of this module not to be able to navigate to the upper level in the hierarchy of level 3 list- can that be done?

Thanks,

Regards - Guru

Great question. 

Not that intuitively I'm afraid. 

There is a suggestion made by @DavidSmith in this post to create a separate dashboard to filter down the lists. Make sure to read @kavinkumar response right after David's. You'll need the Boolean Filter.

Alternatively, you can always use the search if you have large lists.

 

As a last resort you can create a system module (1 dimensional model) that contains just the level 3 list. Create a Boolean line item and set it to TRUE. Create another line item formatted as a list of the level 3 list. Create a saved view that only contains the level 3 and set the dimension width to 6 pixels. Save the view to the dashboard. This, of course, is not a selector but a list. You can click on any of the list members and it will sync with the rest of the dasbhoard.
