The dashboards do not appear to filter well when there are Reason or State-type filters at dashboard filter level (scrap reasons, downtime reasons, state reasons, state, reasonstate, etc.)
It is highly recommended that customers who need to filter by these should do it at widget-level
Easy rule Rule of thumb for deciding when to use Dashboard vs. Widget-level filters:
Dashboard filters should stay limited to “anything not directly related to a machine’s recorded status/state/issues”
Examples of safe dashboard filters: Machine Name, Area, Plant, Shift, Calendar DateTime, Job Name, Job Filter x, etc.
Widget filters are where you can better contain isolate your filtered data at machine’s “activity” level
Examples of safe widget filters: ReasonState, Scrap Reason, etc. along with any other filter (Date, Shift, etc. these are always safe)
