Each data tile on a dashboard contains a visualization, and the type of visualization determines whether or not you can use the data points on that tile to create cross-filters.
Supported visualization types
The following visualization types are supported and can create cross-filters:
- Table charts
- Column charts
- Bar charts
- Line charts
- Area charts
- Scatterplot charts
- Pie charts
- Map charts
- Donut multiple charts
- Funnel charts
- Timeline charts
- Waterfall charts
- Boxplot charts
- Custom visualizations
Unsupported visualization types
The following visualization types are not supported and cannot create cross-filters; however, they can be filtered by cross-filters:
- Single value charts
- Single record charts
- Map charts
- Visualizations that use grid layout
- Visualizations based on merged results when all queries in the merged results are from the same Explore as the rest of the dashboard tiles (if a dashboard contains a merged results tile with queries from different Explores, cross-filters cannot be enabled for that dashboard)
Regardless of visualization type, you cannot create cross-filters (or standard dashboard filters) on a custom field.
