The following documentation is available.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to combine filter elements to a group and bind them to data in code.

In this example, the dashboard contains the ComboBoxDashboardItem, ListBoxDashboardItem and TreeViewDashboardItem combined into a group. These filter elements allow you to apply filtering to a Chart dashboard item by selecting the required values.
