Notice

If you want to hand over a parameter to the linked URL look up the technical name of the dimension you want to create the link for. This is because of the multi-language implementation of USU Analytics . Do not use the name of the dimension (here Location - city).

You can get this information, if you right-click on the dimension and choose Tell me more… . In this example you would copy locationCity from line MDX to your clipboard.
