# auto_run_dashboard - Model files

> Forces dashboards using the model to require a run click before filter and control changes re-run their queries.

Forces dashboards using the model to require a run click before filter and control changes re-run their queries, letting viewers set every filter before any query fires.

<Note>
  This parameter is independent from [`auto_run`](/modeling/models/auto-run), which controls workbook behavior.
</Note>

## Syntax

```yaml theme={null}
auto_run_dashboard: true/false
```

## Properties

<ParamField path="auto_run_dashboard" type="boolean" default="true">
  Controls whether dashboard queries automatically run when filter or control values change. When `false`, a manual **Run** button appears in the dashboard's filter/control bar. When unset or `true`, dashboards auto-run on filter and control changes.
</ParamField>

## Examples

```yaml title="Disable auto-run for dashboards" theme={null}
auto_run_dashboard: false
```
