- Save the settings so the filter appears at the top of the dashboard.
Success Criteria
- A filter control appears at the top of the dashboard.
- You can continue adjusting the filter and reviewing chart changes.
Tips While Using
- If you do not choose a field first, the filter cannot form a valid condition.
- This action must be performed inside a dashboard that contains charts.
2. Use cross-table linked filtering
Entry: Dashboard → Filter button → Cross-table linked filtering switch
- Click the Filter button in the dashboard.
- Turn on the Cross-table linked filtering switch in the filter logic area.
- Select the matching field from the related data tables.
- Apply the filter condition and review the updated charts from different data sources.
Success Criteria
- The linked filtering switch is turned on.

Tips While Using

- Linked filtering depends on corresponding fields across the related charts or tables.
