In dashboard edit mode, you can define relations between widgets by specifying filter conditions for selected widgets. The defined filters can be used in dashboard view mode (See Use interactive filters in your dashboards).
Most widgets support data filters. Especially, the Drop-down box, Input field and List widgets can be used for filtering other widgets. (See Insert widgets to a dashboard).
Filtering using multiple selection
Multiple selection allows you to filter widgets by selecting multiple values, such as multiple rows or data points, in a widget. See Use interactive filters in dashboards for details.
In particular, the List widget is provided for filtering using multiple selection.
The values selected in a widget are processed as a list and passed on to the widget to be filtered. The widget to be filtered must also support multiple selection. This means that the filtered widget is enabled to process a list of values
and not only a single value. You can enable a widget and, respectively, the assigned data feed to receive and process a value list by inserting user inputs (input parameters) of List type in the data feed, Date user input (List), Number user input (List), and Text user input (List).
If user inputs (input parameters) of List type have been defined, they are listed below the Source columns of a widget. They are identified by their own list icon.
Note that user inputs (input parameters) of List type cannot be used to filter singe values. For details see Configure filters for Process Mining context-based widgets and Use the filter panel of Process Mining context-based widgets.
Process Mining context-based dashboards
The filter definition method described below is not supported by Process Mining context based widgets. The filter conditions are automatically set when you assign data columns of the Process Mining context to the widgets.
Procedure
If applicable, input parameters are displayed as additional filter widgets. If input parameters have been defined, they are listed below the Source columns of a widget. See Create input parameters for details.
If invisible columns have been defined, they are listed as Source columns. Invisible columns are not displayed in the widget, but they can be used as a filter criterion. See Assign data sources to widgets for details.
You can use a column or a constant value as filter condition.
Your filter conditions are saved and can be applied to your dashboards.
