Working with Filters
Filters affect the data that is displayed in the dashboard and let you focus on specific
areas.
In this section:
- Creating Dashboard FiltersDashboard filters affect all the widgets in the dashboard, except for the widgets that you configured as independent.
- Editing Dashboard FiltersYou can modify the filters that are applied to a dashboard.
- Enabling and Disabling Dashboard FiltersYou can activate and deactivate the filters configured for a dashboard to control the data that is displayed in the widgets.
- Locking Dashboard FiltersYou can lock a filter to prevent viewers from making any changes. The viewer can see the defined filter settings, but cannot edit the locked filter.
- Deleting Dashboard FiltersYou can delete dashboard filters that are no longer required.
- Saving a Default Filters ViewYou can save the current state of your filters and their settings at any time. The current state includes the existing filters, their configuration, and the order in which they appear in the Filters panel.
- Restoring Dashboard FiltersIf you changed the filters configured for a shared dashboard, you can revert to the latest copy shared by the dashboard owner at any time. When you restore a dashboard, local changes to the dashboard are overridden.
- Creating Widget FiltersIn the Widget Designer, you can specify which subset of data values is displayed in a widget by defining a widget filter. This type of filter affects only the widget it is applied to. For example, you can create a filter that shows data only from specific printers.
- Editing Widget FiltersYou can modify the filters that are applied to a widget.
- Enabling and Disabling Widget FiltersYou can activate and deactivate the filters configured for a widget.
- Deleting Widget FiltersYou can delete widget filters that are no longer required.
- Configuring How Filters Affect the Dashboard and WidgetsYou can configure different filtering behaviors.
