Make a data visualization act as a filter
You can set a data visualization to act as a filter on a dashboard that contains it. Only table or indicator data can be so filtered.
Before you begin
To use a data visualization as a filter, you have to meet these requirements:
- The visualization can only be of pie/donut or horizontal/vertical bar type.
- The visualization can show only table or indicator data.
- The visualization must be on a dashboard that was created in the inline editor. You cannot use a visualization as a filter on a technical dashboard or other UI Builder page.
- The visualization cannot have a group by value based on a time duration.
Role required: Any internal role and the right to edit the dashboard with the visualization
Procedure
Navigate to All > Platform Analytics > Library > Dashboards.
Find and open the dashboard that contains the data visualization.
Select Edit to put the dashboard in edit mode.
If you do not see an Edit button
Find the pie/donut or bar visualization that you want to use as a filter on the dashboard.
