What's New?

We're excited to announce that space filters are now fully released, enhancing data autonomy and efficiency for all users.

Why?

Previously, members couldn't slice and dice data within spaces, requiring admins to create new tables and spaces for filtered views. This resulted in a loss of autonomy and unnecessary duplication of efforts. The new space filters empower members to apply dimension filters directly, streamlining data analysis and reducing dependency on admins.

How Does It Work?

Admin Setup:

• Filter Icon: Navigate to any space and click the filter icon at the top.
• Add Filters: Select dimensions and items to filter.
• Lock/Unlock Filters: By default, filters are locked. Click the lock icon to unlock a filter, allowing members to adjust within predefined items.
• Save or Reset:
  • Apply for Everyone: Save changes as the new default for all users.
  • Reset: Revert to the last saved filter settings.

Member Interaction:

• Adjust Unlocked Filters: Members can modify unlocked filters to refine data views. Changes are reflected immediately but are not saved for other users and will be lost upon reload.

Example

If you want to share a space with the manager of Europe, you can:

• Region Filter: Lock the filter to Europe, preventing changes.
• Country Filter: Unlock and select only the countries within Europe, allowing the manager to adjust specific countries as needed.

Important Notes

• Only dimension filters are supported; time filters are not available.
• Locked filters appear in grey, while unlocked filters appear in blue.
