Global filters

A global filter is a workspace filter that is "locked"  so that it stays on when you open other dashboards. You can access these filters using the filter panel just like other workspace filters.

 

To turn on a global filter

  1. Click the button at the top of the dashboard screen to open the filter panel.

  2. In the filter list, locate or create the filter you want to turn on globally.

  3. Click the lock/unlock button to "lock" the filter. The locked symbol is blue .

When you open another dashboard, it will automatically use global filters. Note that only applicable global filters will be applied (i.e., attribute matches a "Group By" in the dashboard).

Tip: The filter button at the top of the screen shows a contrasting filter symbol if global filters are on:
if panel is closed; if panel is open
