Filter PAW Elements using URL

Here’s how to create links to IBM Planning Analytics Workspace (PAW) books with filters within the URL.

Below is an illustrative example of how it works.

  • I’ve added newlines for clarity, but this all a single line URL.
  • “book” corresponds to synchronization group names. Don’t forget to turn on synchronization for widgets you’d like to control in this way.
  • You can add multiple synchronization groups and have more than two dimensions/hierarchies you’re filtering on. 
https://production.MyPAWServer.com/ui?type=book&path=/shared/Folder_Name/Book_Name#Synchronization=
{"book":
[
	{"serverName":"TM1DBName","hierarchyID":"[dim1].[hier1]","memberSet":"{[dim1].[hier1].[ElementA]}"},
	{"serverName":"TM1DBName","hierarchyID":"[dim2].[hier2]","memberSet":"{[dim2].[hier2].[ElementB]}"}
]
}

In this example:

  • Book_Name is opened
  • For all widgets that have “book” as the synchronization group:
    • dim1 will be filtered on ElementA
    • dim2 will be filtered on ElementB
