Filtering Panel

The Filtering Panel lets you apply filters to control which data appears across the entire dashboard. You can filter based on a dimension, or a measure.

When activated, the panel appears by default at the top of the dashboard. It displays all selected filters, allowing you to test different combinations and display only the data you need.

For the filtering panel to function, at least one global parameter must be created and linked in the relevant data model.
