# Filter Interaction Control

#### What is Filter Interaction Control?

**Filter Interaction Control** is a feature that empowers users or report designers to manage how filters from one component (e.g. a slicer or chart) affect other components in a report.

**Purpose of this feature:**

* **Control the flow of analysis**: Guide user interactions and exploration logic in dashboards.
* **Prevent unintended filtering**: Ensure that certain visualizations (e.g. high-level summaries) remain unaffected by specific filters.
* **Enable advanced interactive reporting**: Support the creation of dynamic dashboards, where components can filter or exclude one another selectively.

#### How to Configure Filter Interaction Control?

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Select the Target Component

Click on the **chart, slicer, or table** you want to configure. This component is the *target*, meaning it will be the one affected (or not affected) by filter interactions from other visuals.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Configure Filter Interaction

In the right-hand panel under **Visualizations → Build**, go to the **Filter Preferences** section. Here you’ll see the toggle to configure filter interaction:

* **Off**: The component will respond to filters from all other visuals as usual (default behavior).
* **On**: The component will only respond to filters from the specific visuals listed in the **“Filters applied to this Visual”** section.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note**: If the interaction is **enabled** but no visuals are listed under *“Filters applied to this Visual”*, the component will **not be affected by any filters**.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.datasuite.vn/english/features/chart/information-fields/filter-interaction-control.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
