A checkpoint is a snapshot of settings at a point in time. Users can set checkpoints, revert the state of the dashboard to a prior point, or move to a forward point. Calls from the Checkpoint control are implemented by filters and components to provide complete restoration. See Dashboard Development Services Components.
Users can rename checkpoints, which are saved as Checkpoint1, Checkpoint 2, and so on. Checkpoints are persistent throughout the document, so these are still available after the document is saved and closed.
To use the Checkpoint control to save filters that are currently set on the dashboard, or apply a set of previously saved filters:
In Interactive Reporting Studio, on the dashboard top panel, click
.A drop-down list is displayed.
The Starting Checkpoint command in the drop-down list applies starting filters that are configured in QIQ Filter Properties. If Remember filter settings on startup is activated from Filter Control EIS, the filters set when the dashboard was closed are applied when Starting Checkpoint is selected.
Select Add Checkpoint to apply the current filters and chart properties.
The settings are saved as Checkpoint 1, Checkpoint 2, and so on.
Optional: To return to the starting checkpoint, select Starting Checkpoint.
The checkpoint set at startup is displayed.
Optional: To modify a checkpoint, select Edit Checkpoints.
An editing frame is displayed. See Editing Checkpoint Controls.
