Creating custom filters on dashboards

Cloudera Data Visualization enables you to create a custom filter based on any parameter.

The following steps demonstrate how to create custom filters in a dashboard.

  1. Open an existing dashboard in Edit mode.
  2. Switch to the Filters tab on the Dashboard Designer side menu bar.
  3. Click CREATE CUSTOM FILTER.

    You can see a new filter widget named New Filter on the dashboard.

  4. To configure the new dashboard filter, hover over the filter and click the Gear icon in the top right of the filter widget.

    The Settings modal window opens on the Values tab.

    Note that the Save selections made in edit mode setting is available. You can use it to save text, numeric, or date range selections made in Edit mode. When unselected, filter values selected while editing the dashboard will not be the default in Edit mode.
