Using multi-select mode

This option allows you to select multiple options in the dropdown menu in a dashboard filter.

This option allows you to select multiple options in the dropdown, then apply all changes to the filter together by clicking outside the table. This collapses the list. For multi-select list, this is a recommended option as it minimizes the query refresh time.

This is the default mode for application controls.

  1. Open a dashboard in Edit mode and hover over a filter that is already added to the dashboard until the controls appear on the top right.
  2. Click the Gear icon.
    The Settings modal window appears.
  3. Click the Display Settings tab and select Apply all changes to a multi-select list at the same time.
  4. Click APPLY.
  5. Optional: You can edit the filter widget in the following ways:
