The filter pane can be found in the bottom left corner of the dashboard designer. If the dashboard is empty and/or if none of its elements have any filter/input control defined, then the filter pane is collapsed and no filters are visible. As soon as one element on the dashboard has a filter/input control, then this filter appears in the filter pane. In the following example, two elements on the dashboard have a filters: the chart ''Areasize by province test'' has a filter on ''Province'' and the chart ''Accidents by province test'' also has a filter on ''Province'' and an additional one to restrict the date (date of accident is after a specified date).[[File:filter_pane_example.png|center]]These filters can now be used as dashboard controls. If the two filters (''Province'' and ''Date of accident is after'') are dragged and dropped on the main dashboard pane, the result looks as follows:[[File:dashboard_filter.png|center]]Then, by clicking on the filter icon in the top menu of the dashboard designer ([[File:filter_icon.png]]), the filters can further be refined with the '''Filter Manager'''. In this window, it can be specified exactly which filter should be applied to which element (dashlet), via which attribute. Of course, the attribute must be defined on the underlying element (ad-hoc view). The following example shows the configuration for the scenario mentioned above:[[File:filter_manager.png|center]]Then, once the dashboard is saved and executed, the filters can be applied as input controls.
