Creating Dashboard Filters
Filters narrow the data presented in a dashboard. You can define filter criteria using Microsoft Excel-like functions such as AVG, SUM, or UPPER, or groupings such as a date range or aggregation. When you add a filter to a dashboard, all lenses on the dashboard update simultaneously based on your filter selection. Though you can also filter data in some lens objects, such as a column, a filter applies across the entire dashboard. Unlike lenses, filters cannot be shared by other users or dashboards and must be created for each dashboard.
The topics in this section provide instructions for creating and configuring each type of filter.
