The following WebFOCUS syntax controls the display of the Global Filter icon and dashboard bar on an active dashboard.

SHOW_GLOBALFILTER={ON|OFF}

where:

ON

Displays the Global Filter icon and dashboard bar on an active dashboard. This is the default value.

OFF

Suppresses the display of the Global Filter icon and dashboard bar on an active dashboard when both of the following apply:

• You have not set a coordinated field (MERGE=AUTO) option.
• The dashboard does not have multiple PAGELAYOUTs.

By default, Document Composer and InfoAssist add the following syntax for the output formats AHTML, FLEX, and APDF.

SECTION=section1, LAYOUT=ON, SHOW_GLOBALFILTER=OFF,...$

Setting the MERGE=AUTO option or having multiple PAGELAYOUTs overwrites the preceding SHOW_GLOBALFILTER=OFF setting and displays the Global Filter icon and dashboard bar.
