Specify Limit Values By for Dashboard Filters
Configure the Limit Values By setting for individual dashboard filter controls in a dashboard filters visualization to specify how the filter gets its selection values.
The options for this Limit Values By setting are:
- Default - Limits the filter based on the system setting configured by your administrator.
- Auto – Limits the filter by all filters in the filter bar. Also limits the filter by other filter controls in the same dashboard filters visualization or in other dashboard filters visualizations on the canvas, providing the other filter controls are on a higher drill path or unrelated by drill path.
- None – Prevents all other filter controls in the dashboard filters visualization from limiting the filter's values. The filter is still limited by filters in the filter bar.
- Custom – Lets you choose which other dashboard filter controls you want to limit the filter's values by. If there's more than one dashboard filters visualization on the canvas, dashboard filter controls from all are available to choose from. The filter is still limited by filters in the filter bar.
To specify the limit values for selection steps, see Specify Limit Values for Selection Steps.
