(v24) List Filter Visuals

List Filter Visuals

This applies to: Visual Data Discovery

List filter visuals are based on a single attribute, metric, or time field in a data source. These visuals list the values of the selected data source field. They are supported by all Symphony data connectors.

You can select one or more of the field values in the list filter visual to quickly apply a filter to other visuals in the dashboard that subscribe to a cross-visual filter for the field. Regular visual filters can also be applied to a list filter visual itself. Filters applied to the list filter visual are saved when the visual or dashboard are saved. However, any filtering performed using the list filter visual is not saved when the dashboard is saved and any data selections made on the list filter visual are not saved.

Note: A list filter visual cannot be converted to a different style, as other visual styles can using the visual sidebar menu. Likewise, other visual styles cannot be converted to the list filter visual style.
