Master Filtering

  • 2 minutes to read

The Dashboard allows you to use any data aware dashboard item as a filter for other dashboard items (Master Filter). To learn more about filtering concepts common to all dashboard items, see the Master Filtering topic.

The Pie dashboard item supports filtering by arguments, series or points.

Filtering by Arguments

When filtering by arguments is enabled, an end-user can click a pie segment to make other dashboard items only display data related to the selected argument value.
