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.

RE: Clicking on pinned tiles retain filtering settings

This is a must!It is very confusing clicking on a tile that shows a number, and not finding the same number within the report.

RE: Clicking on pinned tiles retain filtering settings

Please get this done, my users get very confused, being able to pin two different versions of the visual for two different manufacturing sites and being able the report filtered for each site would be great.

RE: Clicking on pinned tiles retain filtering settings

Please add this - non technical users struggle to re-generate the report and get frustrated, this means it incentives them away from the reports and vis-a-vis the dashboard. Some now prefer only the dashboards and ask no questions. Others don't trust the dashboards are correct because they cant 'validate' the filter settings.

RE: Clicking on pinned tiles retain filtering settings

When I share a dashboard with my users they are always asking why the tiles link to a completely different report and makes no sense to them. Please consider adding this as a feature in the next release.

With the new Bookmarks feature in place, this should be easier to accomplish, no? The current situation (original filter settings lost) is highly confusing to users.

RE: Clicking on pinned tiles retain filtering settings

This is really important addition to the dashboard - report relationship. Advanced reports with a lot of filters take a while to setup and get pinned to your dashboard, but when you want to click through to the report, the user has to manually reapply the filters again.

RE: Clicking on pinned tiles retain filtering settings

This is huge. Clicking the tile is the first step someone takes to get into the full report via the app, and if it is showing wonky numbers it can really cause confusion for the user

Agreed. This should be consistent.
