About Filter Personalizations

Oracle Analytics can save end user's dashboard or visualization filter value selections and display them when the user reopens the workbook.

Filter personalizations save end users time because they can pick up where they left off with the workbook and don't have to set filter values for their data each time they open the workbook. While in the workbook, end users can click Revert all changes to change the filters values back to the values set by the workbook's author.

If you're a workbook author and change a workbook's filters, this is how those changes impact personalizations:

Change	Impact
Add filter	Retains user personalizations.
Hide filter	Retains user personalizations.
Disable filter	Removes user personalizations.
Delete filter	Removes user personalizations.

By default, personalizations are enabled for each workbook. As a workbook author, you can update the workbook's presentation flow to specify if the filter values persist when the user reopens the workbook. See Specify Personalization Options in Present and What Is a Presentation Flow?

Note:

Administrators can switch off workbook personalization for the entire organization using the system setting Enable Personalization in Workbooks. See System Settings - Enable Personalization in Workbooks.
