Cross-filtering dashboards

Cross-filtering allows interaction with the dashboard data to see how metrics affect each other.

A data point can be clicked in one dashboard, and all other dashboard tiles automatically update to filter based on that value.

Note: The following visualizations are not supported:

• Single value charts
• Single record charts
• Map charts using Plot options
• Visualizations using grid layouts

Use cross-filtering

1. Click on a data point in a tile.
   Note: For bar, column, line, area, scatterplot, and pie visualizations, you can also click the chart's legend to start cross-filtering.
   All tiles are now filtered by that data point value.
2. Optional: To filter an additional data point, hold down Control (PC) or Command (Mac) and click on another data point.
   

Cross-filtering a range selection

Note: In order to use the range selection the following requirements must be met:

• The dashboard is a time series dashboard.
• The tile is a line, area, or scatterplot visualization.

In a supported visualization tile, click one end of the range, and hold and drag to the end of the range.

Note: Additional data points cannot be added from the same tile when using a range selection.

When you release your click, the cross-filter appears at the top of the dashboard and other tiles are now filtered using that range.

Removing cross-filters

Use one of two ways to remove a cross-filter from the dashboard.

• Click the data point again.
• Click the X next to the cross-filter value.
  Note: To remove multiple cross-filters, click the X at the very right of all filter values.

Using cross-filtering with standard filters

A dashboard can contain both cross-filters and standard filters. Both appear at the top of the dashboard with a few exceptions. Cross-filters are different from standard filters in a few ways. Cross-filters:

• Appear after standard filters and are dark blue.
• Can not be customized visually the same way standard filters can.
• Are not visible to others when a dashboard is shared.
• Are not saved to a dashboard. Once you navigate away from the page, the cross-filter is cleared.
• Are not applied to dashboard downloads and schedules.

Note: If a cross-filter is created with the same dimension the standard filter is using, the standard filter value cannot be changed until the cross-filter is removed.
