Filter Interaction Control

Feature to control how filters affect Charts, Slicers, and Tables

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?

1

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.

2

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.

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.
