Product Performance

Linking dashboard content ..

Content linking creates interactive dashboards where components are connected through parameter passing. When a user selects a value in one component (like clicking a bar in a chart or selecting a row in a table), other dashboard components update automatically to reflect that selection.

For example, selecting a specific region in a map could filter a sales chart to show only data for that region. This creates a dynamic, drill-down experience where users can explore data relationships.

Content linking is implemented through parameter mapping between components, where the output parameter of one component becomes the input parameter for others.

In this workshop we're going to create a Product Performance Dashboard.
