Filters reduce the amount of data shown in visualizations and determine the data set for all the visualizations on the canvas.
You can easily search for data filter elements using a variety of filter settings. For list filters, you can use case sensitive and pattern (wildcard) searches. Use the * and ? characters for the pattern match search. If you use \*, it will search for the * character in the text.
When you have multiple filters on the filter bar, you can re-order them by dragging them to different placements.
Note:
The filters on the filter bar at the top of the canvas filter all visualizations on 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.
