    Can you please clarify whether saved (pinned) bookmark filters are applied when doing an external share of an Explore dashboard?

    Hi Joel,

    Yes, bookmarks will be applied to the dashboards sent to external users/end-users via scheduled deliveries or shared thru an external link.

    Hello Rich!
    If you don't want to share the filters across tabs but want to keep the current state of each filter you have selected in each tab, then you will have to bookmark each Tab separately.
    It should work as expected when bookmarking each Tab!

    The bookmarks DO NOT work across multiple tabs, despite having Enterprise Suite and using live data filters. The live dataset is buggy and short of a lot of useful data

    I would like to investigate this further for you, so I am creating a ticket for this comment and you can provide me with some extra information there.

    We are also experience problems where a time filter bookmark affects only one of the tabs...

    Hello Conny,

    I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues where the time filter bookmark affects only one of the tabs. To investigate further, I will open a ticket for you and reach out via Email.

    I can confirm the same issue, since we started using Explore 2 years ago. I've been confused by the existence of "do not share across tab" because no filter ever has shared across a tab.

    Having the same issue here with bookmarks not being applied on some tabs. They reset when I switch between them and/or close the browser and go back in

    Update: 
    Support has confirmed that the documentation is worded in such a way as to be hard to get to the correct outcome.

    "Share across tab" does NOT "work across all of your dashboard tabs", it only works on tabs with the exact same filter as the one that you just set up. If I have a time filter  for Tickets Solved on Tab 1, it will not apply to Tabs 2-5 unless they also have that same filter on it, and the box "do not share across tab" is not ticked on the filter on tab 1. 

    This is not at all what the text conveys, so I'm not surprised I wasn't the only one posting here confused.

      CJ Johnson I've updated the Using bookmarks across multiple dashboard tabs topic in this article, along with the Using filters across multiple tabs topic in the Best practices for using dashboard filters article, to clarify how to get filters to work across multiple tabs.

      I find that I consistently have to set my filters and pin the bookmark 2-3 times before it saves. It seems really buggy and I wonder if anyone else has gotten to the root cause of this.

      I can't find this feature in beta dashboards. Is there an equivalent feature?

      HI Jo Tatti,

      I would recommend upvoting this thread: https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/4450861730458-Bookmark-component-for-the-new-dashboard-builder-Gathering-interest

      Zendesk have not yet confirmed that bookmarks will be present in the beta Dashboard builder (which is extremely disappointing, because I think they are a critical feature in Explore).

      Why is the bookmark "menu" in the dashboard itself and not in the ribbon?

      Same issue as Jeremy above. Bookmarks are incredibly inconsistent when saving, often have to set the filters and bookmarks 3-4 times for them to save properly.

      Hi, is it possible to specify which book we would like to apply when scheduling a dashboard to be sent via email? 

      I have a dashboard with two bookmarks, one for yesterday's tickets and one for the prior 7-days tickets that I would like to be schedule sent at different cadences.

      Hi Jacques!
       
      You won't be able to select a bookmark in the scheduling option for the Dashboards, this is a neat feature to have, I do agree. What I would love to do with your partnership is attack this from both fronts; on my side, I'll flag a couple of articles for revisions as there are places we can call this out that could expressly mention it so others don't experience the frustrations you've experienced, and on your end if you could submit product feedback as outlined here to communicate use case, headaches caused, etc. so our product team can take it into future roadmap + release consideration I would be greatly appreciative.
