Arcadia Enterprise application controls may use custom output parameters.
You can apply a filter defined in one dataset to control visual presentation based on information in another dataset. In most cases, there is a mismatch between the field names of the driver and target datasets. In Arcadia Enterprise, you can correctly specify this mapping by setting the value of the filter to the appropriate field in the target dataset.
The following steps demonstrate how to configure a filter based on US Populations Over Time dataset to control the display in a visual based on US County Population dataset.

Note that this reports the current filtering parameters, correctly naming the output parameter field stname
, and correctly identifying the filtering conditions set earlier.
If the option to Emit distinct parameters for each item selected is selected (under Display Settings tab), the filter reports the items as distinct key/value pairs. By default, the label for each key is derived from its value. If the labels are specified, such as in the case of optional parameters, they appear instead.
