Tile filters

Tile filters are persistent filters that dashboard editors apply to individual tiles.

Use tile filters to show data subsets and create focused views that always display specific segments. This allows you to build dashboards that tell a complete data story by comparing different audiences, time periods, or metrics side by side.

Note: Active tile filters take precedence over any conflicting User filters.

Time-based comparison

Compare campaign performance across different time periods by filtering tiles to show specific quarters. For example, display Q3 and Q4 results side by side to measure whether proposition changes improved engagement rates.

Brand or segment analysis

Filter tiles to show data for different brands or customer segments on the same dashboard. For example, create a dashboard showing 2021 customer activity with separate tiles filtered for Brand A and Brand B.
