New Dashboard Parameters feedback
TL;DR - Need the parameters to "clear" automatically after each user.
I love the new Parameters slicer. It has really helped consolidate our dashboards instead of creating/maintaining one for each team. Now I have one dashboard for the entire project portfolio, and each team can use the parameter to look at their individual team metrics.
However, I wish the Parameter selection cleared after each session. Usually the selection is just a one-time peek at the data as filtered by the parameter. But users don't know to clear it when they're done, so when the next person open's it, there's usually a moment of panic trying to figure out why the data "looks wrong."
It's the dashboard equivalent of having to put down the toilet seat. Can this be automatic somehow?
Agreeing with Laura. This has confused nearly every single manager I have who uses our team's dashboards at least once.
At the very least, the parameters should not "stick" between users so one users' filters shouldn't be visible to another's who comes in to view the dashboard after them.
Thanks for sharing your feedback, Laura Lysaght & Amy Augustyniak! Awesome to hear the Parameters slicer is helping. We totally get why automatic clearing would be useful to avoid any confusion. I've shared your feedback with our product team. Your feedback is super helpful! 😊

Laura and Amy, thanks for sharing! It's being taken care of already and you can expect an update improving that soon
Parameters is a great addition to Dashboards. An idea for future updates - it would be great to have a status parameter.
Kerri, thanks for your feedback! What kind of dashboard do you work on so all widgets can be filtered by status? Is it something team/people-specific?
Is there a way when you have a public view to still have the parameters available? It's really difficult otherwise to share with users
Rowena, the parameters are fully supported by the public links. What exactly is not working for you?
Laura and Amy, unfortunately the update is still pending. We're trying to come up with a more general solution on this default and per-user parameter values.
I set our dashboard as my Wrike shortcut, so I open it multiple times a day and clear the parameters manually if I see any.
I'm only able to add 3 parameters to my dashboards. Is that the total number you can add?
This is needed in our organization too. I have multiple people waiting to hear the update has been made. Thanks!

It would also be fantastic if changing the parameters changed the public link. We are trying to get down to one master dashboard where we can use parameters to filter the data based on project/team needs (We have over 50 active projects, so having 50+ dashboards is very cluttered and difficult to maintain consistency with). We wanted to be able to post public links to the dashboards within each of our Microsoft project team groups so that the executives and project team members who don't have Wrike licenses could quickly glance at the dashboards whenever they wanted. The problem we encountered is that we can't get unique public links for each project, and non Wrike users can't change the parameters.
Is there anyway that when parameters are updated, the URL changes and would contain whatever parameters are currently set? I'm honestly not sure if this would be possible, but it would be a game changer for us.
See example below.
