Master Filtering

You can use the Chart dashboard item as a filter for other dashboard items. To learn more about filtering concepts common to all dashboard items, see the Master Filtering topic.

The Chart supports filtering by argument, series or points.

Filtering by arguments allows you to make other dashboard items display only data related to selected argument values by clicking series points.
When filtering by series is enabled, an end-user can click a series point to make other dashboard items display only data related to the selected series.
Filtering by points makes other dashboard items display only data related to the selected point.

To configure filtering type, open the Chart’s Interactivity menu and select Arguments, Series or Points as a target dimension.

Drill-down on series requires that the Series section contains several data items, from the least detailed to the most detailed item.
