In the ever-evolving world of data analytics and reporting, organizations are constantly seeking ways to streamline processes, gain valuable insights, and make informed decisions. One critical aspect of reporting platforms is the ability to filter and analyze data efficiently. To meet this demand, we have introduced a feature called "Global Filters". This article aims to explore the benefits and functionalities of global filters in ReportGarden, highlighting how they enhance data analysis and reporting capabilities.
In traditional way, the filters have to be added to each widget in a report/dashboard. This is time consuming. With global filters, you can apply a filter at the whole report/dashboard level at a single go. This adds filter to all the relevant widgets in the report/dashboard, saving time and effort for users.
Users can define multiple global filters based on their specific requirements and you have a flexibility to include/exclude it in a specific widget. This customization empowers you to tailor reporting to your specific requirements.
Just below the top bar, you will find option to include global filters.
In ReportGarden, the following global filters are supported
