Single Select Control for Internal (Editable) Source

The Single Select Control tile displays a dropdown menu populated with entries from an internal (editable) data source. When a user selects an entry, all Admin Panel tiles on the same dashboard that reference the same source will be automatically filtered based on the selected entry.

Overview​

This tile enables users to filter dashboard data dynamically by selecting a single item from a list. It is particularly useful when you want to drive context-based filtering across multiple panels using a common reference field.

Use Case Example​

Assume you have the following setup:

  • Data Sources:

    • teacher (editable)
    • student (editable), with a field related_teacher referencing teacher

  • Dashboard Configuration:

    • Admin Panel for teacher
    • Admin Panel for student
    • Single Select Control tile configured for the teacher source

Behavior:​

  1. The dropdown in the Single Select Control lists all teachers from the teacher source.
  2. When a user selects a teacher:
    • The teacher admin panel displays only the selected teacher.
    • The student admin panel displays all students whose related_teacher matches the selected teacher.

This allows for intuitive, user-driven filtering of dashboard content.

Features​

  • Dropdown populated with entries from an internal source
  • Automatically filters all relevant admin panels on the same dashboard
  • Supports reference-based filtering across sources (e.g. foreign key relationships)

Limitations​

  • Only supports internal (editable) data sources
  • Does not support multi-select functionality
  • Filtering applies to all connected admin panels on the same dashboard
