What are Filter and Variable Controls?

Dashboards are often made of multiple Chart and Table cards, looking at survey data cross-broken by different variables. Filter and Variable controls allow a user to control the applied Filters and selected Variables of multiple Chart and Table cards at once. 

 Filter Controls can be of several types:

  • Select Box (Drop Down)
  • Checkbox List (Select many Answer Categories at once)
  • Radio List (Select only one Answer Category, but display as a list)
  • Slider (Best used for "Wave" or time-based variables, but will work with any).

 Variable Controls can be either:

  • Variable Select Box (Drop Down)
  • Variable Image List. To access the image upload section, first save this Control Type.

Restrictions on Filter Controls

Filter Controls can only be added to a Dashboard when the Project contains at least one Variable marked as a Filter. For Project Management click here
