hi!

I would like to add MYREFID textbox in my dashboard which has few visualizations(pie,datatable,etc.)  
If I search with MYREFID, the whole dashboard must display the related results of MYREFID.

How to pass the value of textbox MYREFID to my visualizations of dashboard?

I'm running kibana v5.6.3.

I'm not sure what a MYREFID textbox is, but it sounds like you'll need to write a custom visualization plugin to achieve this. You can learn how to get started with this here: [https://www.elastic.co/webinars/creating-custom-kibana-visualizations](https://www.elastic.co/webinars/creating-custom-kibana-visualizations).
