Filter Selectors

There are following filter selectors available:

• Case attribute values
• Event filtering by event types

When values are selected in the list, a corresponding filter rule is created. The list and the filter rule are kept in synchronization, i.e., when the list is changed, the filter rule is updated, and when the filter rule is changed in the dashboard header, the list updates automatically.

Case attribute filter selector

Case attribute filter component has the following settings:

• Maximum rows: Maximum number of rows shown in the list. If there are less values available than this limit, the dropdown list opens. If there are more values available than this limit, clicking the list opens a search dialog which can be used to search any of the available values (even if there are millions of values). Usually when there are small number of values available, the dropdown list is the easiest to select the values. When there are lot of values, it's not practical to show them in the dropdown list and the search dialog becomes useful.
• Case attribute: Select the case attribute the dropdown list is bound to.
• Title: Defines a custom title for the dropdown list, if the case attribute name as the default title is not sufficient.
• Link to Dashboard filter: When unchecked, selecting values from the list creates a filter rule that is visible in the dashboard header. When checked, selecting values from the list creates a hidden filter rule that is not shown in the dashboard header. Technically, in the former case, the filter rule is applied to the Filter variable, and in the latter case it's applied to the DashboardFilter variable.
• Chart filter: Optional filter applied to the shown values in the list. This filter can be used to limit which values are available in the list and how the case counts are calculated.

In addition, there are the layout settings available.

Event type filter selector

Event type filter selector is used to select the filtered event types. There are the same settings available as in the [[#Case_attribute_filter_selector|]Case attribute filter selector], except there is no case attribute selection.
