Convert Canvas Filters and Selection Steps to Dashboard Filters

Convert canvas (unpinned) filters and unpinned selection steps in the filter bar to dashboard filters when you want to use the functionality, style, layout, and personalization options that dashboard filters provide. This way you can avoid manually adding dashboard filters and deleting existing canvas filters or selection steps in the filter bar.

Use the Move to Dashboard Filter option to move the canvas filters and unpinned selection steps from the filter bar into a dashboard filters visualization on each canvas. This option converts all canvas filters and unpinned selection steps in the workbook at once. Pinned selection steps and workbook filters apply to all canvases in the workbook and therefore can't be converted to dashboard filters.

Filter settings such as selected data values, exclude, null, and limit by are moved with the canvas filter or selection step to the dashboard filter. Parameters bound to the canvas filter are also migrated to the dashboard filter control.
