Slicers Overriding while toggle between visuals

Hi, community, I have an issue with Slicers - I have visuals in two different Pages. Page 1 has a set of Visuals and a Toggle button that will send me to another set of visuals with Page 1 itself. ...

Hi Anonymous 

I am using the same slicers between the toggle between two diff viz in the same page. Nothin happens when I hide the filters. would you be able to provide a step by step approach ? Thanks.

Hi Anonymous,

 

Syncing slicers creates a copy of a slicer across pages, so I suspect what is happening is that when you use your toggle button, your "Table 2" slicer is being unhidden. You should be able to check this by opening your "Selection" pane. (View -> Selection).

 

Rather than deleting this slicer, click the little icon that looks like an eye in the selection pane. After you have done this, update your bookmark that relates to your second set of Page 1 visuals.

 

Show Panes

 

Slicer Visible

 

Slicer Hidden

 

Update Bookmark

 

Hopefully this clears things up.

 

Thanks,

Andy

    Hi Anonymous,

     

    I tried the steps you mentioned - they work to some extent. However when I refresh the page and test it again with the toggle they again appear and are no longer hidden. I am sure I've updated the bookmarks for two viz within the toggle.  Any idea why is that happening? 

    Thanks a lot for your reply.

        Hi Anonymous ,

        I've been using "Version: 2.76.5678.782 64-bit (December 2019)". I tried to download the latest version of February(I suppose) but unfortunately, the update was not available to my region (India) I believe.

        I am sorry that I can't share the file with you because of privacy issues. But to reproduce this issue on your end - all you have to do is create two slicers of the same column coming from two diff tables Then put them in two diff pages and sync the slicers across these two pages. Please let me know how this works for you.

         

        Thank you,

        Vikash
