A dashboard filter is your personal tool for focusing on the data that matters most to you. It is like having a magnifying glass for your reports, allowing you to highlight specific areas of interest.

Imagine you only want to see data from a specific time period, like This Month, or perhaps from particular locations. A dashboard filter can narrow down your report to show only those relevant details

All images shown are just an example. Names, fields, and values will be dependent on the organization and the user logged in

Let us dive into the process:

Click on New Filter, located below the dashboard name.

Name your filter – Give it a meaningful name to identify it easily later.

Select the type of filter
