A group interactive filter allows users to select multiple interactive filters to apply to reports on a dashboard.

Before you begin

Role required: hp_publisher_admin and report_admin. The hp_publisher_admin role exists only for managing interactive filters in Core UI. By default, it contains the role analytics_filter_admin for managing Core UI filters that are migrated to Platform Analytics experience.

Note: If the interactive filter has a default value or specifies the last selected value, non-responsive dashboards do not apply this value automatically. This feature is only available on Responsive dashboards.

Before starting this procedure, create several choice list, reference field, boolean, or date filters to group.

Default values selected for child filters are not applied when using a group filter. Selected values in a group filter are not saved when you reload the dashboard.

  1. (Optional) Check the existing interactive filters on the same table.
    1. Navigate to All > Reports > Administration > Interactive filters and select an interactive filter based on the same table you want to filter.
