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 โฎ > Edit Card.
- Disable the Always use the dashboardโs 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 10โ17:
- 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.

Starting in Turbine 26.5.0, Schedule, Email, Download, and Dashboard Preview use the dashboard-level filters, the current date range, and any card-level overrides. What you see on the dashboard is what appears in the preview and in the PDF. See Share and Download Dashboards.
