Pinned Dashboard Filters and Replace Properties

Pinned Dashboard Filters and Replace Properties

With pinned filters, dashboard owners can now pin relevant filters to their dashboards so other users at their organization can edit the contained charts on the fly. In addition, each filtered view you create will generate a unique dashboard edit URL. This improves the impact of Analytics dashboards in two ways:

  1. Usability - to alter a teammate’s dashboard before pinned filters, you had to copy, edit, and save a new dashboard. Now, you can quickly apply a dashboard filter to ask and answer a question, without moving through three extra steps and cluttering your content library. 
  2. Discoverability -  before pinned filters, bulk filters could only be found through the “more” dropdown menu. Now, novice users will see the option for dashboard filters right on the page, encouraging them to try creating their own dashboard views. Experienced teammates can also pin suggested properties for filtering, so novice users have a good place to start.
  3. Distribution - since dashboard filters create unique URLs whenever they’re applied applied, you can share any views you find valuable without needing to save a new dashboard.

As part of pinned filters, we brought over the replace properties function from dashboard templates, onto any saved dashboard page directly. This allows customers to quickly filter charts in their dashboard by a selected property value, without needing to access templates.

Watch the demo video below, and read our dashboard help doc here to learn how to start using pinned filters at your organization!

 

Love this change!  Wish it supported the upcoming “Derived Properties” feature, which seem to have broken with this change.


Hey, this looks great.

Is this feature available for all accounts already. A client of mine would like to have these for their dashboards, but we don’t have the options shown here on in the docs.

Or is it only available for Growth plans and higher?


Hi @deepskydata 

Thanks for your question.

This feature is currently available to all customers, however you do need to be on a paid plan to use Pinned Dashboard Filters and Replace Properties.

Hope that helps!


To clarify on the notes above, dashboard filters are a paid feature and only available in Starter orgs on Starter Templates. 


Great to see all the excitement here! 😃
