Please make the "Bind to Parameter" available for use in Viewer Mode.

Our client (DV Developers) have created a parameter that generates a list of departments.

In Visualize and Present mode with using a filter the "Bind to Parameter" option is available so when selecting a parameter it will populate the filter with the values of the parameter, in this case 303 departments.

This will allow the end users to save time from selecting hundreds of departments every time they go into the DV workbook. In the screenshot to the left you click on the (x) icon and select your parameter.

It then populates th elist of departments into the filter.

The issue is this functionality is not available in Preview or viewer mode (how the end user will see the workbook) because it is an editing tool. Please look into seeing if this functionality can be available for any user viewing the workbook. There is an option to use personalization filters, but the title bar needs to be visible to the end user but when doing that you get the back "arrow" button so that is currently not an option as we don't want users to click on the back "arrow" button and I opened an Idea to be able to disable it which may also resolve this issue. Here is the link to that idea,
