Product Update! Exclude Filters in Dashboards and Reports

Written by Danielle Ungermann | July 16, 2018

Announcing the latest updates to your BrightGauge: the ability to exclude filters from gauges in both dashboards and reports!

We heard a lot from users, and team members, that they would like to exclude filters on reports and dashboards. After much discussion we decided to split this into 2 releases - dashboards & reports!

Excluded report filters

When a user is building out a report and applies a filter we show a filter icon on the gauge.

The user can click on this icon to exclude certain gauges from being filtered.

We added some simple tooltips to guide users.

Next up! The ability to exclude filters from dashboards.

Similar to the ability to exclude filters from reports, users now can ensure certain gauges don't get filtered on dashboards too.

Before, if you were to apply a filter to a dashboard, the filter would be applied to all the gauges there.

Exclude Filters
Just like with reports, users can choose to exclude filters by toggling the filter icon.

Excluded Filter Indicator
If the gauge has a filter that is excluded, you'll see the gauge has a gray overlay instead of the green one.

Export CSV
Data that gets exported as a .CSV will show the correct data that is on the dashboard, even when those gauges are excluding filters.

Drilldown
Same as when going to export a CSV, your drilldown will show consistent data when filters are excluded.

Excluded filters will also carry over if converted to a report. For more info on excluding filters from reports, read this recent update.
