Container and Cycle Selection

I have a container with two charts: Level A and Level B.

I have an additional chart under the container with a button to Cycle between Level A view and Level B. My customer is asking if it is possible that when you select the Chart within the Container for Level A that the lower level filter shows Level A and if you select the Chart within the Container for Level B that the lower level filter shows Level B?

Thanks

ok - I guess I said it backwards but I understand - the chart at the bottom outside of the container displays info based on the container object

I cannot think of an easy way to accomplish based on the UI that exists.  You would need to capture which chart is active and based on that, set the cycle group.

A different UI recommendation Have the 2 charts on top not be in a container and have them sitting on top of each other - place a button on top and have the caption toggle based on a variable.  Have to show condition of each table be based on the button selection - you can follow the same concept for the chart on the bottom.

Unfortuantely this is the best solution I have, but I am sure there are others that could figure out what you want to do

I'd second Adam's suggestion. It's not always easy to make one chart work off of the settings of another chart. In these cases, it's better to drive both charts "externally", using Buttons and Actions.

Create a set of buttons that set certain variables that should drive the show/hide condition and the behavior of the two charts. Make both versions of the chart drive by the same variables, and the overall picture will look like one chart is "driven" by the other.

best,

I get the concept, in theory. However, the requirement is two-fold... Selecting one or more program or portfolio shows the Issue chart with project on the cycle and showing the projects related to that program or portfolio. Selecting one or more projects shows the Issue chart with the cycle on projects as well.

The other part of the requirement is that if less than all programs are selected, the project health view chart will automatically (as opposed to having to click a button to toggle) display with only those projects related to that (those) programs. Is that possible?
