How do you ensure global filters and facets pass to a linked Analytics asset from a dashboard?

The option that states to select "Apply Selections and Filters" on the link widget is correct because it explicitly enables the transfer of any applied global filters or facets from the dashboard to the linked Analytics asset. This setting ensures that the context of the data displayed in the linked asset reflects the current selections made in the dashboard, which is vital for maintaining data consistency and relevance in analysis.

When users interact with the global filters or facets in the dashboard, it modifies the data context to which they are referring. By enabling the "Apply Selections and Filters," the link widget recognizes those changes and applies them to the linked asset, thereby enhancing user experience and analytical outcomes.

In contrast, manually inputting filters or relying on a specific API call may not provide a streamlined or efficient way to ensure the filters are consistently transferred. Furthermore, the assumption that linking is automatic overlooks the necessity for explicit steps to ensure the desired context is maintained when navigating between dashboards and linked analytics assets. Hence, the selected option effectively captures the need for ensuring global filters and facets carry over appropriately.
