Hi, I've been reading the documentation here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/master/development-embedding-visualizations.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/master/development-embedding-visualizations.html) And at some point it says "time picker must be present (enabled) on the page" and a while bellow that "without linking to querybar or filterbar" How can we enable this? And related to this, how can we make clicking in a visualization part (for example, a part in a pie) will be used as filter in other visualizations embedded in the same page? Regards. ---

Hi @havidarou, so you want to write a kibana plugin that uses the query bar, filter bar and the timepicker? One example of enabling the timepicker can be seen in the visualize source code at [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/ac5ae44590b70f0228c66c526871a609844288e2/src/core\_plugins/kibana/public/visualize/editor/editor.js#L198](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/ac5ae44590b70f0228c66c526871a609844288e2/src/core_plugins/kibana/public/visualize/editor/editor.js#L198). I might be able to point you to some other examples if you can give a more detailed description of the purpose and structure of your plugin. ---

Hi @weltenwort thanks for your reply. What I am trying to achieve is: - Have several visualizations in one page. - Filter them by using the timepicker, lucene, etc. - Make a selection in one visualization become a filter for the rest. Regards. ---

That sounds very much like a dashboard. In which respects do dashboards not match your requirements? ---

I want to replicate that in my plugin as I also mix configuration about my own software and other stuff. I guess what I want is to make an embed visualization monitors an AppState shared among different embed visualizations and then make the searchbar also monitors that state. Am I wrong? I opened another topic: [Error when providing AppState to an embeded visualization](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/error-when-providing-appstate-to-an-embeded-visualization/106231/2) Regards. ---

Ok, that makes sense. Let's try to focus the discussion in the other topic so we don't cross streams. I have asked the visualizations team to help you out there. ---
