Global Filter
This page explains the Global Filter functionality available for the reports.
The Global Filter applies a selected parameter to an entire Report, ensuring that all Views connected to the relevant Data Store are filtered consistently. This functionality is available on the final page of a Report and is useful for applying uniform conditions, such as region, department, or time range, across multiple Views.
Applying a Global Filter
Navigate to the Report.
Click the Global Filter icon on the menu panel.
The Filter panel opens, displaying available filter values.
Select a Dimension, Measure, or Time field:
Selecting a Dimension displays all sub-dimensions.
Selecting a Measure or Time displays related fields.
Choose a filter condition from the drop-down menu:
In – Include only selected sub-dimensions.
Not In – Exclude selected sub-dimensions.
Select the sub-dimensions using checkboxes.
Click the Apply icon.
The Global Filter icon is highlighted, and all Views connected to the Data Store are updated.
Example
A Report contains six Views:
Five Views from NLP_hiring_data_Aug1.
One View from Sample Data Store.
Applying a Global Filter on NLP_hiring_data_Aug1 updates the first five Views, while the sixth remains unaffected.
Attaching a Filter to the Panel
In the Filter panel, click the Attach to filter panel icon next to a selected filter condition.
The filter value is added to the top filter panel and highlighted in blue.
From the top filter panel:
Select sub-values as required.
Click Apply at the top of the Report.
The filter value is applied to all Views linked to the relevant Data Store.
Filtering Options
In – Filter Views by only selected values.
Not In – Filter Views by excluding selected values.
Example: Filtering out Rajasthan cities ensures only non-Rajasthan data is displayed.
Managing Global Filters
Sequential Filtering – Filters are applied in the order of selection.
Example: First by Source = Referral, Orgspire, CareerNet, then by Gender = Female.
Result: Displays female employees from the selected sources.
Exclude Global Filter – If enabled for a View, that View will not be affected by the Global Filter.
Multiple Data Stores – Global Filter only affects Views from the chosen Data Store; others remain unchanged.
Refresh Icon – Click to refresh Views and clear Global Filter effects from the Report.
