What are Filters?
Filters are a great way to focus in on the data that you care about, while hiding irrelevant data you may not need.
For example, you may only want to see how your DAY SHIFT is doing. For this, you’d filter IN all your DAY SHIFT data, and filter OUT all your other shifts (afternoon shift, evening shift, etc.).
