This article explains how to add or edit filters on your Insights dashboard, as well as how to adjust filter criteria on a dashboard.
When you add a Look or a Tile to your Insights Dashboard, you can use Raw Looks, which means to leave the criteria open so that you can use Dashboard Filters for flexible options on how you view the data on your dashboard. You can also add or edit filters added to your dashboard.
To add or modify filters for your dashboard, complete the following steps:
- Select Edit from your Dashboard.

- Select Filters.

The Add/Edit Dashboard Filters window opens, showing any filter criteria you have applied to this tile/look in your dashboard.

- From the left side of the Add/Edit Dashboard Filters window, select New Filter, or select an existing filter from the list to edit it.
- Enter or edit the Name of the filter.
- Select the Type of filter from the drop down list.
- If you selected Field as the Type, additional options allow you to choose the appropriate field.

For Tiles that are turned ON, you can select a specific field from the drop down list.
