A query limit is one or more limits that share a name in one or more queries; therefore, selections are applied to all instances of a limit. For example, in an expense and revenue dashboard the user selects the month only once and it is applied to the expense and revenue queries if both contain an equivalent month limit.
Query Panel enables users to select from query limit controls configured by the dashboard developer. Query limit controls are one or more controls that are responsible for helping the user select values to be applied to an individual limit.
Individual query limit values are set by using one or more of these controls:
check boxes
option buttons
list boxes
drop-down lists
tree controls
calendar controls
The controls available in Query Panel vary depending on the dashboard developer configuration, and whether the dashboard is a runtime or an editable source master (ESM). For example, 
and 
are not available in runtime dashboards. Query Panel includes other buttons on the top panel. See Toolbar Buttons.
