Exposed filters and Global filter [#2099171]

Hi,
is there any connection fo Views exposed filter and Global fitler?
Actually I have a view with exposed filters.I want the values of these exposed filters to pass as contextual filter in another view.
Is this possible?When I pass the value from the URL the view works as expected.But when I choose a value of an exposed filter of another view,which field have set as Global field,the view is not filtered.
What i don't understand is how a contextual filter will take a value,apart from the default one.
Also what is the "WIDGET TO RENDER THE GLOBAL FIELD" ?
Thanks

Views Global Filter does not take values from exposed filters.

The way the Views Global Filter works "under the bonnet" is that it takes a value from one of its block filter widgets, stores (remembers) it internally in the "session" and passes it on as a contextual default value to any Views on your site that need it (as per your configuration).

Exposed filters do not come into it. In fact, Views exposed filters and contextual filters don't work so well together: see http://drupal.org/project/filter_harmonizer.

For the Views global field I'd use the text field widget.

Hope this helps.

Yes that's what I thought you wanted. But it's not the use-case for Views Global Filter or Views Filter Harmonizer.
You need another module, yet to be developed, for that, I'm afraid.
