@Sergey This sounds like an IIS issue or in configuration, please see this guide and open a ticket with support if it doesn't help

Using Sisense 6.4 and this plugin is working fine. However, if I have 2 filters on the dashboard and one is dependent of another, then this widget shows no data. Is it possible to have this plugin work for dependent filters as well? Ultimately, my users will have a set of dependent filters like Brand->Category, and then a 3rd filter, say Month, that is not dependent. We would like all 3 of these filters to be able to be displayed in the widget.

In 6.4.2.11006, I'm having an issue with the Smart Label putting a comma just before my text. When I installed the newer version, I had to go turn off the labels and then it displayed a comma instead of the label. Has anyone else seen this and any ideas on how to fix it? (using the October version of the plugin)

Hi, Omer,
Sorry to be slow in responding! I didn't see your comment. No, there are no scripts.
Looking again at the pictures in the description of this plugin at the top of this page, I see both behaviors. The circled "United Kingdom" data matches what I'm seeing in our 6.05 system. The label above the world map appears to have labels.
My example used just the Sample ECommerce dashboard that was provided above. I tried it on one of our systems with Sisense 6.02.something and again on 6.05.0.15. On the 6.05 version, the label "Country: " does not appear. On the lower release, I could see both the name of the field supplied for TEST and the actual value, as shown below.
Thanks,
Leslie

Attached the latest version of the plugin, that supports dependent filters (tested on 6.6.0.10328).
You can download it from here.
Also added a link at the top of the page.

Evgeni,
This dependant filters update is really nice. Thank you.
The SmartLabel has an issue on v6.6 with dashboard that have SmartLabel widgets from v6.4/v6.5. When a server is upgraded from the older version to v6.6 or dashboards are imported from the older version the SmartLabel does not fuction. In fact, you have to either delete the widget and recreate or open the widget and change to another widget type and then back to SmartLabel and reconfigure. The error that I see is that the SmartLabel is not registered which I would normally see if the plugin was not installed. I'm wondering if somehow in these updates the name is changed from the older versions such that the newer plugin versions don't recognize the old widgets?
We use the SmartLabel extensively and want to upgrade to v6.6 soon, but can't until this issue is resolved. I actually have a ticket in on this (#39376). Would love it if you could solve this for us.
Regards, Jim
