When you pin a graph (or another object) with filters to the dashboard, the dashboard shows a tile with the filtered graph, but when you click on the tile, the whole report is opened unfiltered.
Clicking on a tile, should reopen the same filter configuration that was active when the tile was created, otherwise the UX is not consistent.

Thanks for the suggestion. We will consider this and prioritize against other ideas.

RE: Clicking on pinned tiles retain filtering settings
Please get this done, my users get very confused, being able to pin two different versions of the visual for two different manufacturing sites and being able the report filtered for each site would be great.
RE: Clicking on pinned tiles retain filtering settings
Please add this - non technical users struggle to re-generate the report and get frustrated, this means it incentives them away from the reports and vis-a-vis the dashboard. Some now prefer only the dashboards and ask no questions. Others don't trust the dashboards are correct because they cant 'validate' the filter settings.
RE: Clicking on pinned tiles retain filtering settings
When I share a dashboard with my users they are always asking why the tiles link to a completely different report and makes no sense to them. Please consider adding this as a feature in the next release.
RE: Clicking on pinned tiles retain filtering settings
Important - please implement this
RE: Clicking on pinned tiles retain filtering settings
With the new Bookmarks feature in place, this should be easier to accomplish, no? The current situation (original filter settings lost) is highly confusing to users.
RE: Clicking on pinned tiles retain filtering settings
This is really important addition to the dashboard - report relationship. Advanced reports with a lot of filters take a while to setup and get pinned to your dashboard, but when you want to click through to the report, the user has to manually reapply the filters again.
RE: Clicking on pinned tiles retain filtering settings
This is huge. Clicking the tile is the first step someone takes to get into the full report via the app, and if it is showing wonky numbers it can really cause confusion for the user
RE: Clicking on pinned tiles retain filtering settings
Agreed. This should be consistent.
RE: Clicking on pinned tiles retain filtering settings
Most flexible option would be to give us the choice in the settings of the pinned tile to maintain any applied filters or not.
RE: Clicking on pinned tiles retain filtering settings
I agree that retaining the filtered settings is necessary or it completely devalues the use of the filters and pinning of the dashboard. Just as important is the ability to pin read only tiles or at least to be able to turn off the hyperlink to the report viewer. I know they added a feature to customize that hyperlink so you can change it to something else and is essentially providing read only access to an average user, however if you are creating 10 tiles per dashboard and have 20-30 dashboards the effort of creating all those custom hyperlinks is not feasible. There needs to be global settings for reports, dashboards and tiles you can set so all items created within a workspace retain those settings.
