Filter Options

Each Dashboard comes with a set of Filters, which you can edit in order to obtain the precise data you need. Simply click on the Pencil Icon( Pencil_icon.pngon the top-right hand corner of the Filter to begin editing and select the “OK” button when you're done.

List
The List edit mode will allow you to select individual data items. The default is multi-select but you can also toggle the list to only allow single select. To find a specific data item, you can use the search bar or, when filtering Date ranges, you can use the drop-down menu to change the granularity of your selection to Quarters, Months, Days, etc.

Calendar
The Calendar edit mode is available for Date data values and allows you to filter by selecting a specific date range.

Note: When selecting the date range, select the start date first and then the end date until you see a blue highlighted group of days.

The Time Frame editing mode allows you to quickly filter by general time frames like Years, Quarters, Hours, etc. without having to select a specific date range through the calendar.

Ranking
The ranking filter allows you to filter all values that have a certain ranking, for example the top 10 workers.  This filter allows you to change the number range for the ranking and whether you want to see the Top ranked or Bottom ranked items.

Text
The Text editor allows you to filter by specific keywords and modify your search by text “Containing”, “Equals”, “Doesn’t End With” and more.  You can combine multiple rules together using 'AND' /  'OR' logic to achieve incredibly precise filters.
