# Global Filter

* Click the ***Global Filter*** icon provided on the Storyboard.
* A filter panel opens, displaying a list of values that can be used as a filter condition.
* Click on a Dimension to display a list containing all the sub-dimensions (Clicking a measure or time dimension would display the related fields).
* Select the ***In*** or ***Not In*** option from the drop-down menu to apply the filtering condition. (E.g., the below-given image displays ***In*** as the selected option so that the story gets filtered as per the chosen sub-dimension(s).
* Select sub-dimension(s) using checkmark(s).
* Click the ***Apply*** icon.

* The global filter can be applied only to those views on the storyboard, where the filter values are used as dimensions.
* A global filter, when applied to various views on a storyboard, subdues the view-specific filter values.
* The user can insert views created via different data stores on one Storyboard. By default, the Global filter panel displays all the available filter values across the data stores.
