Filter Mode
The Filter mode setting appears only for widgets with a configured dimension. It offers three modes:
- Standard — one or multiple values can be selected; selection is confirmed with a checkmark, and unselected values disappear
- Single choice — only one value can be selected; other values become semi-transparent
- Disabled — value selection via click is not possible
Ignore Filters
A widget with Ignore filters enabled does not re-render. This setting only disables click-based filtering—it does not affect view-level filters.
When clicking a widget with Ignore filters enabled, no checkmark (apply) or “×” (cancel) appears, and filter tabs are added instead.
- Clicking a value that was not previously selected adds it to the filter.
- Clicking a previously selected value removes it from the filter.
For the Filter widget with Ignore filters enabled, search behaves as follows:
- Selected values do not move to the top of the list
- If a value matches the search criteria, it remains selected even if it was included in a previously applied filter
If Ignore filters is disabled and the mode is set to:
- Standard: The widget is filtered by dimensions from other widgets and can also be filtered by its own dimensions
- Single choice: Only one dimension value can be selected during filtering. Filtering by the widget’s own dimensions is not possible—only filtering by other widgets’ dimensions applies
- Disabled: Neither selection nor filtering by the widget’s own dimensions is possible. Only filtering by other widgets’ dimensions applies
If Ignore filters is enabled and the mode is set to:
- Single choice: Only one dimension value can be selected during filtering. Neither the widget’s own dimensions nor other widgets’ dimensions trigger filtering
- However, selecting a value in another widget for the same dimension will also highlight it in this widget. When a filter is applied (based on one or more values of the same dimension in another widget), the highlighted value remains selected in the widget with Ignore filters enabled
- Disabled: Neither selection nor filtering by the widget’s own dimensions is possible, and filtering by other widgets’ dimensions does not apply
Predefined Filter
Using the + Filter button, you can add a predefined filter—a fixed data display condition—to the widget.
A predefined filter applies only within the current widget and cannot be edited or removed in view mode.
You can configure a filter based on a formula, a process-based dimension, a dashboard indicator, or a table column from the Data Model.
Predefined filter settings for process-based dimensions are available in beta. Try them out and share your feedback—your input helps us improve the product.
Predefined filter configuration for process-based dimensions mirrors the settings used when adding such a dimension to a widget. For event start and end times, you must select a transformation type. Then, a modal window appears to choose the process, event, formula, and condition. You can also add nested filtering to the predefined filter—based on a formula, dashboard indicator, or table column.
Filtering a process-based dimension by another process-based dimension is not supported.
Available filter conditions:
- Last…
- In range
- Not in range
- Equal
- Not equal
- After
- Before
- After or equal
- Before or equal
- Is empty
- Is not empty
Conditions require additional configuration. For example, selecting Last… requires specifying a number of days or hours; selecting a date range requires defining start and end dates, etc.
States
States are created in the Dashboard Indicators tab and are used to restrict cross-widget filtering. For example, if two widgets have different states assigned, clicking to filter one will not affect the other.
To apply a state to a widget, select it from the dropdown list.
