Hi Team,
I need your help on this one. 
I have table with sub program dimension and there few programs which are part of a group for that i have created a property (Boolean) that filters out those programs (Boolean because more programs can be part of that group in future so easily editable).
I need a feature on board where i need all sub programs on board on selector but a toggle like feature for that particular group. Just that when i click on that toggle only those programs part of a group should show on table and when i turn off/uncheck rest of program or all should be part of that group.
I tried creating a metric based dynamic variable, but it comes under that dimension not separately.
for eg when i edit the board and click on page selector options under sub program i see was as a group variable i.e. one item but on front end it shows all sub programs separately not under one item.

Can someone tell me how can i achieve this? What am i doing wrong with my approach?

Thanks in advance

Hi Nancy!

Thanks for reaching out here.

You’re not doing anything wrong. It’s more a limitation of how the selector works. Since the selector is based on the Sub Program dimension, Pigment will still show the individual Sub Programs rather than a separate “group” toggle.

A cleaner approach would be to create a small technical selector/dimension, for example All Sub Programs / Group Only, and use that to drive a Boolean filter on your table. Your existing Boolean property on Sub Program can then define which programs belong to the group.

So in short: keep the Boolean flag, but use a separate selector to control the filter logic instead of trying to make the Sub Program selector behave like both a selector and a toggle.

Hope this helps!

Hi ​@Gigi , 
Thnaks for the response on this one. I tried the logic but what i am failing at this method is that i am not able to apply the filter of small dimension to the table. I created a helper metric and which will turn true when All sub/Group either one is turned on but when i added that helper metric to the table i am unable to find that metric in Filter section.

Do you have any idea why? Or, am i doing something wrong with my approach?
