Link parameters across Models in a Liveboard
You can link parameters of the same type across multiple Models used in a Liveboard. This reduces the repetitive effort needed to set identical parameters for each Model. Only parameters of the same data type can be linked. Example: Integer parameters can only be linked with other integer parameters. The link must be between different Models. Parameters from the same Model cannot be linked.
A link can have any number of parameters. It is not limited to two. If a parameter is linked as secondary to another parameter (which would be the primary), the secondary parameter chip will automatically be dropped from the Liveboard’s header.
| This is different from linked filters behavior where you must manually remove the chip before linking the filter. |
For example, if you have a Liveboard with Answers that use different Models, but both contain a parameter for "Currency", you could link those parameters so that you can change the currency used in both by using a single parameter chip.
