Time Synchronization on Dashboard

[jedge@dsi.com]

Hi All,

I've added a time (yearly) as a page selector at the top of the dashboard, but my columns are not synchronizing.  In fact, the Boolean in the design area cannot be clicked.  Thoughts?

Just a guess. Make sure that the summary level of the line items are appropriate for the Booleans you're working with.

Try adding a mocked up screenshot or example (no sensitive data) - of the dashboard and the blueprint of the source model. If we know specifically what's happening we can be more helpful.

First, make sure nothing is hidden in the module you published, especially on the time dimension side.  I put this together and it works, but remember I am didn't hide anything nor do I have any filters applied.

Basica module:

Published it to the dashboard as well as the years (Publish Page Selectors for Dashboard) from a module that is only dimensionalized by Years.

Open the designer while clicked on the data module and select Sync

 Data should change now when you toggle the different years:

Again, if your selection to sync is greyed out, it is because you are hiding something.

Hope this helps,

If the boolean "Synchronize Selection" is not active anymore for the "Time" list of the module: verify if there are filters applied to the "Time" list in module in dashboard. this could generate the disable of this option. 

Another possibility: there are manually hidden time columns in the dashboard:  verify if "Show ALL Columns" is active.. if yes.. then you need to Show all columns for Time and then the flag will become again available. 

ciao
