Dashboard Filters
Dashboard User Filters
You can apply a dimension filter to the whole dashboard, you can filter on any Variables, Audiences, FastStats selections, or URN files in the system.
A dashboard creator will add tiles to a dashboard to tell a data story, occasionally a tile is used as a main filter for selecting which categories in a dimension to filter by.
This powerful feature should only be enabled when all users are familiar with the data model. If you only want to offer relevant dimensions, then it is better to use a predefined filter.
Dimension Filters must be enabled in Application Settings by an administrator. See Dashboard Settings
