How to load dashboard using user login parameter?

[shark1986]

Hi guys, I need your help.

I'm developing a dashboard for some coordinators, they want it to load only their sector information, so I need to use a parameter to get their login data to be able to do that.

How to do this in Framework Manager??

Hi,

Usually, details like this are held in Session Parameters automatically. If you haven't looked at these yet, the documentation does quite a good job here:

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cognos-analytics/11.0.0?topic=rules-creating-session-parameters

The next question is usually "How do I translate the value from a session parameter into a value that makes sense in my data?"

This is where Parameter Maps come in. You can use these to tie your session parameter values to names or values that exist in your data:

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cognos-analytics/11.0.0?topic=modeling-parameter-maps

The final piece of the jigsaw is how to use session parameters and parameter maps in things like filters. For this, you need to use a macro:

Cheers!
