Shared Dashboard Filters/Dropdowns

In the new UI there is a feature to build dashboard filters that allow you to narrow down which resources are displayed based on properties. So I can have an overall health dashboard, and add a "By Location" filter to allow me to use a dropdown to select which site to display data for based on a location property.

The filters work pretty well, but the problem is they are only saved at the user-level. So every single user who looks at the dashboard needs to manually create and then save the filters themselves. Not a very good design if you ask me.

My feature request is to allow us to save dashboard Views at the dashboard-level. So I as an LM admin can create a useful dashboard View with filters/dropdowns, and then when I save it the View can then be used by other users who may not be as comfortable creating filters in LM.

Allowing us to save dashboard Views at the dashboard-level would really increase the accessibility of this feature so that the average LM user can just open a dashboard and use the filters that we have already defined.

  • I made this exact same request over 2 years ago. Last week, I updated my request to include a default filter/view that can't be modified. We have many people who need to create their own views (on read only dashboards) but we need them to have a default view that they can't break. 

  • I've also requested this. It's a lot to ask less technical users to put in all the filters manually
