Global filters on modern dashboards

You can apply global filters directly on modern dashboards to quickly narrow results across all widgets and tabs.

Filter modern views by a property

  1. Click the filter icon.

  2. Select a property to filter by.

    If you don't see the filter icon, global filters may be disabled or not configured. See Select properties for filtering views.

  3. Click Apply. When applied, the filter updates all widgets and automatically updates the page URL.

Clear the filter

  1. Click the filter icon on a modern dashboard.

  2. Click Clear.

Select properties for filtering views

  1. On a modern dashboard or tab, click the pencil icon.

  2. In the menu bar, click the vertical ellipsis and select Edit Dashboards Filter Configuration.

  3. Enable the configuration.

  4. Select an entity to display available properties.

  5. Select the properties you want to make available as filters and click Apply.

    When you finish dashboard configuration, the selected properties appear when you click the filter icon. Global filters apply across all dashboard tabs.

Filter by custom properties

To use custom properties as global filters in SWQL queries, include the appropriate custom property tables in your JOIN statements.

For example, the following KPI widget query joins the NodeCustomProperties table on the final line to make those properties available for filtering.

SELECT 
ROUND(AVG(rt.Availability),3) as [Availability]
FROM Orion.ResponseTime rt
JOIN Orion.NodesCustomProperties cp ON cp.NodeID = rt.NodeID
