When you pin a graph (or another object) with filters to the dashboard, the dashboard shows a tile with the filtered graph, but when you click on the tile, the whole report is opened unfiltered.

Clicking on a tile, should reopen the same filter configuration that was active when the tile was created, otherwise the UX is not consistent.

Thanks for the suggestion. We will consider this and prioritize against other ideas.

Most flexible option would be to give us the choice in the settings of the pinned tile to maintain any applied filters or not.

RE: Clicking on pinned tiles retain filtering settings

I agree that retaining the filtered settings is necessary or it completely devalues the use of the filters and pinning of the dashboard. Just as important is the ability to pin read only tiles or at least to be able to turn off the hyperlink to the report viewer. I know they added a feature to customize that hyperlink so you can change it to something else and is essentially providing read only access to an average user, however if you are creating 10 tiles per dashboard and have 20-30 dashboards the effort of creating all those custom hyperlinks is not feasible. There needs to be global settings for reports, dashboards and tiles you can set so all items created within a workspace retain those settings.

RE: Clicking on pinned tiles retain filtering settings

I think this would be a great feature, however it should be optional.

This feature would be great to have. We to have to personalize content packs to retain filters. Of course we would also need the feature of being able to pin read only content.

THIS WOULD BE AWESOME! Right now, people are duplicating report templates from content pack, personalizing and saving in order to persist filters. We have 90 personalized reports now when all we would need is one if this were implemented.

This would be very useful and allow us to have different dashboards for each country. Currently when you click on the dashboard tile and open the report, the filter is removed. Very confusing for users.

RE: Clicking on pinned tiles retain filtering settings

slightly related, but it would be great if you could tell the pinned tiles whether the filter configuration should persist from the time it was pinned or whether it should maintain a link with the original report tile so that when the filter is update in the report the dashboard tile also updates it's context / filter configuration.
