# Dashboard filters

Dashboard Filters allow you to control the data displayed across your entire dashboard.\
By applying a filter at the dashboard level, all compatible visualizations update instantly, helping you focus on the exact data you need.

### 1. Accessing Filter Settings

Before applying filters on the dashboard, ensure that filters have been configured for your workspace.

1. Click the **workspace name** at the top.
2. In the dropdown menu, select **Settings**.
3. From the left sidebar, click **Filter**.
4. Choose the **catalog** you want to apply filters to.

Once deployed, filters become available for use on any dashboard linked to that catalog.

### 2. Applying a Filter on the Dashboard

Dashboard Filters update **all visualizations at once**.

1. Open your dashboard.
2. Click the **Filter** button in the upper-left corner.
3. A dropdown panel will appear with all available filters.
4. Select a filter type (e.g., *Performance*, *Region*, *Category*).
5. Choose one or multiple filter values.
6. Click **Apply**.

All charts connected to the workbook refresh automatically to reflect the selected filter conditions.

**Tip:** Dashboard Filters are ideal when comparing the same criteria across multiple visualizations.

### 3. Applying Filters Inside a Workbook Container

If you want to apply a filter to only one specific visualization:

1. Select a visualization container on the dashboard.
2. Click **Edit** to open its chart settings.
3. Click the **Filter** button within the container.
4. Select your filter conditions.
5. Click **Apply**.

Only that single visualization will update.
