The Filter Row Widget streamlines data analysis by allowing you to simultaneously apply filter conditions to multiple charts and views on a dashboard. Using filter values from a common table, this widget ensures that connected elements on your dashboard respond consistently to the chosen criteria, making data exploration more cohesive and efficient.
Setup and Connected Widgets: When setting up the Filter Row Widget, you start by selecting a source table. This table serves as the common data source for the filters. After selecting the source, you can choose other widgets on the page that contain data from the same source to connect with the Filter Row. These are referred to as Connected Widgets, and they will automatically respond to the filters applied through the widget.
Field Selection and Customization: On the Fields tab, you select which fields from the source table will be available as filters. For each selected field, you can customize how the filtering should work, providing flexibility in data presentation. The widget supports various field types, enabling you to fine-tune the filtering experience to match the specific needs of your dashboard.
Real-Time Filtering: Once displayed on the dashboard, the Filter Row Widget allows users to apply filters interactively. Each filter operates as an AND condition, meaning that as additional filters are selected, they narrow down the data set to meet all specified criteria. This consistent filtering mechanism helps users drill down into data in real time, uncovering insights quickly and accurately.
