Cross-Filtering

All newly created dashboards come with a ready-to-use date filter and enabled cross-filtering.

Cross-filtering refers to the default dashboard behavior which lets viewers of the dashboard click on any data point within a visualization, like a pie chart slice or a bar graph segment, to instantly apply an attribute filter to the entire dashboard using that specific attribute value.

Clicking on data points in different visualizations overrides any previously active cross-filters.

The following limitations apply:

• Cross-filtering does not apply to date filters.
• Geo charts do not support cross-filtering.
• Pivot tables currently do not support cell highlighting. While clicking on a cell will create attribute filters, it’s important to note that users might not be able to visually identify the specific cell in the table from which the filter was generated.
• Cross-filters are not included in the saved views.
