Enable single selection in filter

Hi,

I am stuck at an incident.

I am trying to apply filter on all pages, but want to make a single selection. However it did not met my business need as the end user could still make multiple selections by holding ctrl key. Kindly suggest a way out of this situation.

 

Eg: the user should be allowed to choose only one option between the 3 available options at a time.

Group A, Group B or Group C.

 

Thanks,

Finally since nothing worked. We ended up adding a slicer.

Hi Akash,

You can change the Slicer settings in Visualization pane, you can diselect all the options and opt for Single Select

Any updates to this? I'm still seeing the same thing.

 

@darkinvader read the question.  He said filter, not slicer.

I'm seeing the same thing.  Single selection slicer setting is not being transfered during publishing to the service

Hi Amit,

I applied single select, but the problem here is that the end user is still able to make multiple selections.

I actually wanted to have only one selection at any given time. But this is getting override by holding ctrl key.

Thanks,

Infact we want to achieve this functionality without using a slicer.
