Filter Entire Dashboard

Very interesting idea—thank you all for sharing your thoughts on it. I just want to clarify one thing regarding terminology here. When you say filter, do you mean that you want a search filter that applies to all reportlets, or do you mean more like a segment, where the line items would not match the search filter, but the data set would?

For example, if you've got a dashboard with five reportlets, you want to be able to enter a filter value (e.g., "home") and have all five reportlets update so that they are only showing line items that contain the search value? Or do you want to have the reportlets update so that the data in each one is only data collected on the page (or whatever) called "home?"

(I know the correct answer is "both!" but assume that you could only have one of those two. Which are you looking for?)

the question is why wouldn't it already be an option, but since it isn't, this is a no brainer that it would be very useful to all involved with setting up dashboards.

i would use this feature a lot.  It would help me sort through a large dashboard quickly.

Best idea EVER!!!  Do it now!!!

Yes. This would be very useful.
