      Data Filters

      You can apply filters or rules to the fields in your dataset.

      How to Add a Data Filter to a Dashboard:

      1. From the Report Builder, navigate to the Data Filter section.
      2. Drag and drop the field that you wish to use to filter the report into this section. This will prompt a modal to pop up.
      3. Select the rule to filter by, Filter Types are shown below: 

      Filter Empty Values

      cb Reporting provides the ability to filter rows in the dataset that have null or empty values on a specific column.

      Select Values

      This displays the list of possible values for a column and allows you to select only the items you want to remain in the dataset. Rows with values excluded by the filter aren't displayed in the visualization.

      Filter by Rule

      The Filter by Rule option enables the definition of more complex rules. The available rule options change depending on the field type.

      Rules for Date Fields

      Date fields include rules designed to support time-based scenarios, changing the data range, and filtering the information displayed in the visualization.

      • Custom Date Range

      • Last Week, Month, or Year

      • Month to Date

      • Next Month, Quarter, or Year

      • Previous Month, Quarter, or Year

      • Quarter to Date

      • This Month, Quarter, or Year

      • Today

      • Year to Date

      • Yesterday

      By default, when Filter by Rule is enabled on a numeric field, it is set to "None".

      • Above Average
