### Enter Parameter Values dialog

This dialog appears after you click on the side bar. In this dialog, all the parameters used in the current dashboard are listed. Same-name parameters are allowed when they are from different library components. You can specify the values to rerun the dashboard. See the dialog.

Parameters

Displays parameters of all the library components in the dashboard with their default values.

If you have not yet set the default values for the parameters in JDashboard using the save as default action, or if any of the parameters cannot find a matched validated value from the saved default values, all the parameters will use their default values specified in the parameters' definition as the initial values.

Save as default

Saves current parameter values as the default values for all the library components in the dashboard. It is a user-dashboard level setting.

If later you change the parameter sharing setting in the dashboard, the saved default values will be cancelled and the default values specified in the parameters' definition will be used.

JDashboard remembers the last-time saved result of a dashboard and displays the exact result the next time the dashboard is opened. In the case a dashboard user sets USA as the default parameter value and then filters the result with Canada and saves the dashboard, the next time the dashboard will run with Canada, though the saved default parameter value is still kept as USA.

This option is an action and it takes effect after you click Submit in the dialog. Its initial status is always unselected.

This option is available when Enable Setting Default Parameter Values For Dashboard is checked in the Profile > Customize Server Preferences > Advanced tab.

Submit

Closes this dialog and applies the specified values to run the dashboard.

Reset

When Save as default is available in the dialog, the Reset button contains a text part and a triangle icon. You can choose to reset the values to either of the following by clicking the triangle. If you click the text part of the button directly, the values will be reset to the original default values.

- Original Default Values
  The default values defined in the parameters' definition.
- User Defined Default Values
  The default values specified using the save as default action.

When Save as default is unavailable in the dialog, the Reset button contains only the text part. Clicking it will reset the values to the original default values.

Cancel

Cancels changing the parameter values and closes this dialog.

Use Saved Values

If it is available, you can select the previously saved parameter values to apply to the dashboard and save parameter values for reuse later. For details, see Saving parameter values for reuse.
