Understanding Dashboard and Report Filter Interaction
How do dashboard filters interact with report filters?
Dashboard filters can override report filters when the same attribute is present in both. This means that if you have a filter set at the report level, it can be disregarded if a dashboard filter is applied. For example, if a report is filtered by a specific date range, but the dashboard filter changes this range, the dashboard filter will take precedence.
This behavior allows for greater flexibility in data analysis, but it's important to decide if you want viewers to have the option to adjust these filters. For more details, refer to the originalZendesk article.
