Today to have a parameter at the dashboard level, we use the global flag for parameters.
New suggested flow:
- Deprecate the
global flag.
- When adding a new widget to the dashboard, if the query has parameters we will show them to the user and let him pick what to do with them:
- Add the parameter to the dashboard (default option), creating a dashboard parameter.
- Map it to existing dashboard parameter (default option, if parameter with the same name exists).
- Give the parameter a static value.
- (Not sure we need this:) Keep it a standalone parameter at the widget level.
Things to think about:
- How to show if a widget is affected by a parameter? Maybe color code them, and show this color on the widget?
