  2. Switch to the Filters menu.
  3. Ensure that you are using the correct connection for the filter, or switch to the desired connection.
  4. Select the dataset for the filter.
  5. Click on any of the fields of the dataset to add to the dashboard a widget that filters on this field.
    Alternatively, you can also drag the field that you want to use as a filter and drop it into the filter bar on the dashboard.
    You can a new filter widget, named for the field name.
  6. To configure the new dashboard filter, hover over the filter and click the Gear icon in the top right of the filter widget.
