Board filters let you filter data across all charts on a board simultaneously, even when those charts use different datasets. This is useful for exploring your data from different angles without reconfiguring each chart individually.

​
How board filters work

A board filter links a column from one or more datasets. When you set a filter value, every chart whose dataset has a linked column will update to show only matching rows. For example, if you have charts from both a sales dataset and a support_tickets dataset, you can create a board filter on region that filters both simultaneously.

​
Creating a board filter

  1. Open a board.
  2. Click the filter icon in the board toolbar.
  3. Select the column(s) to filter on — you can link columns from multiple datasets.
  4. Set the filter condition (equals, contains, between, etc.).
Board filters support the same filter modes as Rift — text matching, numeric comparisons, date ranges, relative dates, and boolean checks.

​
Managing filters

  • Edit a filter to change its condition or linked columns.
  • Remove a filter to stop it from affecting charts.
  • Filters persist on the board so they’re applied every time you open it.

AI and board filters

The AI can create, update, and remove board filters. For example:
“Add a filter for region = US across all charts”
