Dashboard Filters

    The dashboard filters dataset is defined by entering Dashboard Edit mode. To add a new dataset, just select the Add Filter button.

    List of different filter options for dashboards

    This will result in the display of a list with the possible dashboard filters to be applied. You can choose between:

    • Adding a Dashboard Filter. This option will allow you to choose information from a data source, after which you can bind your filter to each of the visualizations in the dashboard.

    • Adding a Date Filter. This option will allow you to choose a fixed range or customize it to show only a specific date range.

    To remove a dataset from the dashboard filters list, just select the overflow button next to the dashboard filter and select Delete.
