5-min Quickstart - Create a new dashboard and your first three widgets
Dashboard Filters vs. Widget Filters
Dashboard filters (sometimes referred to as “global filters”) affect all the widgets on your dashboard by default.
This means if you add a Dashboard filter for “Machine Name”, and choose to EXCLUDE a machine called “Welder 2”, then EVERY widget on your dashboard will remove all data records for “Welder 2”.
This same logic applies when you use Dashboard filters to only INCLUDE certain records.
Dashboard filters can be found in the right-side panel of your main dashboard screen.
