Custom Visuals with data passed by parameter

Question & Answer

Hi

I want to asking questions regarding custom visuals in Quicksight.
I want to check if it’s possible the data is in Quicksight, and passed to the custom visual via parameter?
Or ideally the data is saved in the custom visuals and parameter only for taking values from the visuals?

Other question, I checked the action for URL Action inside quicksight, seems I only can pass the parameter if I clicked something in the custom visuals/chart not if I clicked the parameter.
If there’s any suggestion would be very appreciated!

Thank you!

Hi @consultantcon
by “custom visual” in you case you are meaning a visual outside of QS?

You can handover parameters to th visual.

Yes, you cant place a action on a parameter. But you should create a “submit” button.

but I see this video seems there’s no need for “Submit” button

Hello @consultantcon, like @ErikG mentioned, it is definitely possible to utilize the custom visual in this way and pass a parameter. Now actually doing it will depend on what you are importing as the custom visual and how it is able to accept those parameter values.

It will depend on how you built that outside visual, and likely would require you to use the QuickSight API to query the parameter value to input it into the visual you are pulling in. I would recommend trying to follow along with that video and looking at documentation like what was linked above to accomplish this. I will mark this response as the solution for now, but if you have any specific questions about parts of the process it would be easier to help you further.
