Use interactive filters in dashboards

You can use interactive filters for charts and tables if the relevant filter conditions have been defined for these widgets. You can set a filter by clicking a data element of a widget, for example, a data point in a line chart. The selected data element of this widget takes effect as a filter for all associated widgets.

Multiple selection

Some widgets allow you to select multiple values at the same time to filter other widgets. You can select, for example, multiple rows in a table or multiple data points in a chart. Multiple selection is available if the corresponding Multiple selection option is enabled for a widget. The widgets providing the Multiple selection option are Column chart, Bar chart, Pie chart, Grid, and List. The widget to be filtered must also support multiple selection. For details, see Define filters for widgets.

Procedure

  1. Display a dashboard in dashboard view mode.
  2. Click a data element of a widget, for example, a coordinate of a line chart or a cell in a table.

    The selected data element is applied as a filter to all associated widgets.

  3. Click the Show menu Menu icon > Clear selection to clear your filter settings. In charts, you can also click in the background of a widget to cancel the selection of your filter. The menu is available if the Show menu option is enabled for the widget.

The widgets are displayed with the filters selected.

You can define filters for specific widgets. See Define filters for widgets.
