Dashboard Filter Panel

 

In datapine, all users can use the filter panel on the right side of the dashboards to narrow down the data displayed on the dashboard. You also have the option to apply a hidden filter to the dashboard that is only visible in edit mode and enables you to restrict the data that viewers can see on the dashboard. In this section, you will learn how to use the dashboard filter panel.

 

 

Show or Hide Dashboard Filters

 

In your Dashboard, click on the SHOW FILTERS button in the upper right toolbar. This will open the filter panel on the right side of your dashboard. To hide the dashboard panel just click the HIDE FILTERS button again and the filter panel will no longer be visible.

 

 

Turn Dashboard Filters On/Off

 

To activate or deactivate the filter, use the toggle next to the filter name. If the toggle is blue the filter is active and will affect the results on your dashboard, while a grey toggle signifies that the filter is currently turned off and has no impact on the data in the dashboard.

 

*Note: a filter can still be active even if the filter panel is hidden.
