Button Action To Bring To Front / Send To Back

Hi all,

 

Is there a way to have an action of a button set which layer level a graph or visual can be? For example, I need a button that when pressed, either brings Graph 2 to the front, or Graph 1 to the back (both would give the same result)

 

I can't use bookmarks, as I have two sections on the same visual that need this functionality, and so it wouldn't be possible to have a bookmark for each button with its connected graph set to be at front.

 

Is it possible to have a button perform an action like send to back / bring to front?

 

Many thanks

Thanks @amitchandak . I have just seen that you can set bookmarks for selected visuals only rather than the entire dashboard. That should do what I need so it seems possible with bookmarks. Thanks again for your reply.

Hi may you share your solution? 
Thanks!

Hi there sorry for the delay. What I did was set the layer order of the items that I wanted, and created a bookmark of the visual in that state. I then moved the layer order (so sent everything I wanted to the back) and then set that as another bookmark. I then created a button that jumps between the two bookmarks on click. Not the most efficient way I imagine but it works.
