Examples of Using Report and Dashboard Filters
What are some examples of using report and dashboard filters?
Using report and dashboard filters effectively can enhance your data analysis. For instance, if you're a support manager monitoring team performance, you might use a report filter to focus on data related to a specific important customer. This keeps the report targeted and relevant.
On the other hand, if you want to adjust the date range for all reports on a dashboard, a dashboard-level time filter is ideal. This allows you to view trends over different periods without altering individual reports. For more examples, see the originalZendesk article.
