Two filter buttons on the top panel enable you to manage dashboard filters. If no filters are set, the buttons are not selectable. 
(Show Filters) is active if Filter Control EIS is set as the dashboard startup frame.
If the operator is set to Is Null, an available value must be selected before clicking OK. Is Null can be selected without selecting a value, but in a dashboard, it is equivalent to clicking Cancel.
To use the Filter Control EIS function, click Filter Control EIS is displayed with a list of currently applied filters.
Use Filter Control EIS to manage the filters set for a dashboard. From the frame, all local filters can be viewed, and you can set, clear all filters or individual filters. You can set additional filters for a dashboard with Available Values or Custom Values. In this respect, Filter Control EIS behaves the way of the standard Interactive Reporting Studio Filter dialog box.
To clear individual filters, select the filter, and click Ignore Selected Filters. To clear all filters, click Ignore All Filters, or click 
(Clear Filters) on the dashboard top panel.
To retain the filters even after closing the dashboard, select Remember Filter settings on startup. Otherwise, the dashboard opens in its original state.
