Dashboard Filtering Options

Dashboard-level filters act as the default filtering mechanism for all cards in the dashboard. They are defined in Settings and Schedules > Configurations and apply uniformly across cards unless individually overridden.

To configure:

Select date fields for each application (for example, First Created, Last Updated).

Assign a default time range (for example, Last 7 Days).

Cards that inherit these settings will automatically apply the defined filters.

Example:

App A has First Created as the selected date field.

App B has no date field selected.

Global Date Range: Last 7 Days

Effect:

Cards based on App A display data from the last 7 days by default.

Cards based on App B do not apply global filters and show unfiltered data unless configured at the card level.

Card-Level Filters

Each card can override dashboard-level filters.

To apply a card-level filter:

Select ⋮ > Edit Card.

Disable the Always use the dashboard’s date range selection toggle.

Choose a custom Date field.

Set a specific Date range.

This enables focused views within a broader dashboard context.

Example:

Suppose the dashboard-level date range is July 10–17:

Card A:

Inherits dashboard filters and displays data only from July 10 to July 17.

Card B:

Overrides with a custom range of July 1 to July 3.

Result:

Card A maintains dashboard-level consistency.

Card B shows a tailored view for deeper analysis.

Runtime Filters (Session-Based)

Runtime filters provide a temporary way to explore different data slices without modifying persistent dashboard or card settings. These are ideal for ad-hoc investigations or validations.

To apply a runtime filter:

From the dashboard or card toolbar, select the calendar icon.

Choose a quick or custom date range.

Click Apply.

Runtime filters are session-specific. They are cleared when the page is refreshed or reopened. A padlock icon appears on the card when a runtime filter is active. The same applies for downloads as well.

Runtime filters help with investigations and quick time-window changes without affecting team-wide dashboard configuration.

Custom Date Range Filtering

Custom date range filtering is a part of runtime filtering. You can apply quick-select ranges or define custom expressions to adjust the data window interactively.
