`$search$` and `$earliest$`/`$latest$`

What happens when a user selects a value from a dropdown input that is linked to a token in a Splunk dashboard?

The dashboard reloads completely, resetting all tokens to their default values.

The selected value is stored in a saved search for later use.

The token is set to the selected value, and any searches referencing that token are re-run.

The token value is sent to the Splunk server for logging and auditing.

Which dashboard element is used to capture a user's selection and store it in a token?

A form input such as a dropdown or text field

A Splunk admin is building a dashboard with a text input for 'User ID'. The admin wants to use the entered value in multiple searches within the dashboard. Which approach should the admin use to make the value available to all searches?

Use the `$name$` token in each search.

Use a search command to set a token for each search individually.

Define a token `$user_id$` in the input and reference `$user_id$` in each search.
