Slicers: Workspace and App behaviours

We're just starting our org. roll-out of apps. On the whole it's been going well, but we're having a devil of a time with slicer behaviours.    Specifically, I'm trying to work out what actions tak...

    Hi JonPBNES ,

     

    The slicer in WorkSpaace:

    The slicer in APP:

    When I published the APP, I returned to the workspace and changed the value of the slicer, then updated the APP, but I fond that the value of the slicer in the APP has not been updated.

     

    Here 's a method to solve the problem after you changing the value of the slicer in your WorkSpace:

    First, click "Edit report" button.

    Second, click "Save" button.

    Third, click "Update app".

    (In other words, you must save the changes to the slicer before you can update it to the app.)

     

    Best regards,
    Lionel Chen

Hi there

From what it sounds like, is it not that people have changed the slicer from the default. If you had to click on the "Reset to Default" button what then happens?

One option is to not allow the Persistent Filters. This would mean it would not remember each users filters though.

    Had an issue where the slicer setting for a date field was different in the app versus workspace. Even after saving and publishing, the app would show the relative date slicer when the workspace had the between slicer. Hitting the reset but on the upper right made the app match the workspace values.

     

     Thanks GilbertQ !

    I don't think so. Or at least not intentionally. This was just me opening the app in a new tab. 

     

    'reset to default' didn't make any difference. 

     

    It seems to have reset over time; is there a delay in parsing between the workspace and the app sometimes? (Some reasonably large reports & about 20 users). 

     

    Either that or Chrome/our setup does interesting things with its cache and slicers.
