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

Thank you. That works as a fix, but it's not very sustainable as it requires a manual action to refresh the default slicer behaviour (this is required on a large number of reports and we're trying to take away the requirement for analyst involvement in period refreshes).

 

I think we may need to go back to the calendar tables, craete relative date measures and set filters on these, to try to force some updates that way.
