Hi,
My question is next step of
http://splunk-base.splunk.com/answers/73727/how-to-use-multiple-checkbox-instead-of-multi-select-dro...
I have used multiple check boxes and given them a custom behavior almost same as defined in above questions's answer example.
I have created a search string according to user's output(checkbox on/off value) and saved it.
Now when user want to modify previously created search, I want to display same form with values (on/off) user selected previously means Reloading the already created form for modification.
How we can achieve this.
Thanks,
Disha
Well I'm behind on writing up the official docs for this in Sideview Utils itself, but at this point I've spilled the beans and a number of people have started doing it successfully.
It's already written up in this answer here: http://splunk-base.splunk.com/answers/72088/saving-the-current-configuration-on-the-dashboard
If you follow the steps in that answer, then when you save searches, they'll be saved with a little snapshot of the relevant keys, right into the savedsearch stanza in savedsearches.conf.
One side effect to be aware of, is that when the user clicks a savedsearch link to come back to this view and re-run their savedsearch, the URL will very briefly be ?s=saved_search_name
and then it will quickly redirect to ?search.name=saved_search_name
. This is a normal state of affairs, until Sideview Utils has a replacement for the AppBar module.
Also note that since that referenced Question and Answer, Sideview Utils 2.4 came out with the new Checkboxes module, which gives you a nice new option to reduce complexity in complex views where you were using multiple Checkbox modules.
