Hierarchy Filter
Hierarchy filters display parent and child relationships and are available for relative paths (indicated by the path icon 
in the Create Filter dialog box) and not properties. This hierarchical structure enables you to view parent and child relationships and filter the dashboard data based on these relationships.
After selecting Hierarchy from the Filter drop-down list, configure the following properties as needed:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Title | Defines the filter title. |
| Show counts | Displays the number of results for the value. |
| Respond to other filters | Indicates whether the results of this filter change based on selections in other filters on the dashboard. |
| Label Field | Defines a label for the values. Typically a child attribute. |
| Children Field | Defines the relationship or property that populates the hierarchy. |
| Create filter | Creates a subfilter for this filter. |
When you have completed the configuration, click OK to create the filter. The new filter appears on the dashboard.

This hierarchical structure enables you to view parent and child relationships and filter the dashboard based on these relationships.
