Interacting with Dashboards

Viewing Dashboards

On the Analytics page, you can see a list of dashboards that were shared with you on the left or the main dashboard area below.

If you have a lot of dashboards, you can search for a dashboard by typing the title in the Search field. As you begin typing, any relevant results are displayed.

Once you’ve found the dashboard you’re looking for, you can start exploring your data.

A dashboard is a collection of one or more widgets that visualize your data and usually have one or more filters that affect the widgets on the dashboard.

You can interact with filters for analyzing data, either through the Filters pane or by clicking on values in the widget. Each time you interact with a filter, for example by selecting or entering a value, the filter is immediately applied to your dashboard. You will not affect anyone else by changing the filters. In addition, you can restore the original state of the dashboard at any given point by selecting the dashboard menu item and clicking Restore Dashboard.

You can interact with filters as follows:

• Make a different selection in the filter controls displayed in the Filters pane on the right side of the dashboard, as shown below:
  
  OR
• Click on the pencil icon next to the filter name to display the Filter Definition window.
  

Switching Filters On and Off

You can easily toggle filters on and off using the toggle switch. Use this option to compare states (with and without the filter), or to temporarily disable a filter, rather than deleting it.

Saving Your Default Filters View

You can save the current state of your filters and their settings at any time. The current state includes the existing filters, their configuration, and the order in which they appear in the filters panel.

After making changes to any of the above settings, you will be able to restore your filters to their previously saved state.

To save your current set of filters:

• In the Filters menu, click Set as My Default Filters.
  

To restore a saved filters set:

• Click the restore icon next to the Filters menu.
