Generate a URL Using the OriginMessageID Parameter

You can append the OriginMessageID parameter to assist in generating a URL the includes an element prompt in addition to other elements.

The OriginMessageID corresponds to an existing report, or document instance. This is used by the resulting report or document to extract the prompt answers from the specified instance and use them as prompt answers to any corresponding prompts in the requested report or document.

  1. Create a prompted dashboard with an object selector.

  2. Open the dashboard in presentation mode.

  3. Click Share > Share Dashboard.
