Analyze Data in Linked Cube Views With Passed Point of View Selections

Use the Include Default NavLink Parameters property to enhance cube view design and navigation for optimal data analysis. Set the property to True to use the following standard syntax to more easily look up parameters and ensure parameter names match across linked cube views and other objects.

|!dimensionNavLink!|

Point of view selections you specify in a source cube view pass to the linked cube view, for a refined, focused analysis. For example, to pass the Time dimension from a source cube view to a linked cube view, specify |!TimeNavLink!|in the linked cube view's POV. The data in the cell point of view in the source cube view (2018Q1 as shown below) passes to the linked cube view's point of view at runtime.
