Predefined Filters
Predefined filters are saved sets of filtering criteria that you can create, manage, and reuse in your views. They let you quickly apply consistent filters without having to reselect fields or conditions each time you open a visualization.
By organizing and sharing these filters across your organization, you help users access relevant data instantly and work with standardized views. Predefined filters are especially useful for simplifying complex filtering scenarios, maintaining consistency, and supporting team collaboration.
When to use predefined filters
- Reusing frequent filters: Apply common filter combinations without manually configuring each time.
