About Filters

Filters reduce the amount of data shown in visualizations. Filters also determine the data set for all the visualizations in the canvas.

When you have multiple filters in the filter bar, you can re-order them by dragging them to different placements.

If visualizations are connected with a master-detail relationship, then you can click data in the master visualization to filter the detail visualization.

Note:

The filters in the filter bar at the top of the canvas filter all visualizations in the canvas. If you turn off Synchronize Visualizations, then a smaller filter bar is added above each visualization. This smaller filter bar applies only to that visualization. For more information, see Specifying How Visualizations Interact with One Another.
