The Filters Pane
The Filters pane allows you to view, apply, and edit persistent filters for your custom report. Filters set in the Filters pane are saved with the report, ensuring they remain in effect.
The Filters pane is divided into two distinct sections:
The same field behaves differently depending on which section you place it in.
Filters On This Visual
Data fields placed in the Filters on this visual area apply only to the selected visual. They do not affect other visuals on the page or report.
Common Use Cases
|
•
|
Excluding (Blank) values in one chart |
|
•
|
Showing Top N items in a specific visual |
|
•
|
Focusing one chart on a single region or category while others remain broad |
Example
You have:
|
•
|
A column chart showing Activations by Product |
|
•
|
A table showing detailed transactions |
If you add:
UsageMeterType = "concurrent"
to Filters on this visual, only the column chart is filtered—not the table.
Filters On This Page
Data fields placed in the Filters on this page area apply to all visuals on the current page.
Common use cases
|
•
|
Having each page represent a region, year, or business unit |
|
•
|
Filtering out irrelevant data for a specific analysis page |
|
•
|
Providing a background filter instead of repeating slicers |
Example
You specify:
ProductCreatedDate = 01/01/2026 - 31/12/2026
into Filters on this page, every visual on that page shows only 2026 data.
Key characteristics
|
•
|
Consistent context for a single page |
|
•
|
Cleaner than duplicating visual filters |
How Filter Types Behave
Regardless of scope, each filter can be configured as:
|
•
|
Select individual values via check boxes |
|
•
|
Best for categories with few values |
|
•
|
Use conditions (equals, contains, greater than, before, etc.) |
|
•
|
Useful for dates, ranges, and text patterns |
|
•
|
Filter based on a measure (e.g., Top 10 products by sales) |
|
•
|
Available only on visual-level filters |
|
•
|
Relative date filtering
|
|
•
|
“Last 30 days”, “This month”, etc. |
|
•
|
Extremely useful for rolling reports |
