Report w/Current User and Dashboard interaction
I have created a report with the attribute of Current User; when I added this to a Dashboard - it appears that functionality with the report is lost. When going to the dashboard - the report still reflects my assignments;
the current user function within the report works as I tested it within my group;
is this a known hurdle or is there something that I have to do to allow the report - published on the dashboard to refresh to reflect the 'current user' viewing the dashboard?

Hi Nanette,
Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment to use the current user in a dashboard, but it's a great idea!
Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.
Hope that helps!
Have a fantastic day!
Best,

More info:
- If you're using the Current user criterion in your report, the Report widget will always display tasks assigned to the person that added it to the dashboard. For more information on using Current user in reports, check out the article on Viewing Your Assigned Tasks.

As a workaround, you could include a link to the report instead of displaying the report itself on the dashboard. This will take users to the report itself which will in turn activate the "Current User" feature.
