Use lists for multiple selection

You can use the List widget for the multiple selection of values.

In particular, a dashboard can provide lists for selecting individual or multiple values. The List widget provides the multiple selection option by default. The values selected are mainly used to filter values of other widgets.

A list can contain one or two columns. The main column on the left can be used to sort the list, for example, it can contain product names. The second column provides only additional values, such as the product prices. A list also provides check boxes to select multiple values if the Multiple selection option is enabled for the widget.

Procedure

  1. Open a dashboard in view mode.
  2. Click a row in a List widget to select the contained value.
  3. Click a row, press the Shift key, and click another row to select multiple values at the same time.
  4. Click the check box in the column header to select all values in the list. Click the check box again to clear all list values.
  5. Click the name in the header of the main column to sort the list.

    The first click changes the sort order to ascending, the second click to descending, and the third click to unsorted, if this was the initial state.

  6. You can filter the list values.
    1. Click the Search Search icon in the list header.
    2. Enter your filter term in the Search box.
    3. Click Selected to show only the selected values in the filtered list.

Your settings are applied.

Multiple selection is also available in the widgets Column chart, Bar chart, Pie chart, and Grid.
