Once a dashboard is built, filters and saved views make it much easier to reuse the same dashboard for different audiences or questions.

​
Dashboard filters

Dashboard filters let you narrow the data shown across the charts in a dashboard. You can use filters to:
  • Focus on a region, team, customer segment, or product line.
  • Limit the dashboard to a specific time period.
  • Create stakeholder-specific slices without building a brand new dashboard.

​
How filters work

Filters are added from the dashboard itself. Vizkraft groups available filter columns by connector so you can tell where each filter comes from. As filters are applied, charts that are affected can reflect the updated slice of data. Dashboard with filter controls, saved view selector, and export actions visible

​
Save a dashboard view

Use saved views when the same dashboard needs multiple versions. Saving a view preserves the filter state so you can return to it later without rebuilding the setup by hand.

​
Example: campaign performance dashboard

Imagine you have a Campaign performance dashboard and you add campaign name as a dashboard filter. You could then create saved views like:
  • Spring sale 2025
  • Holiday retargeting
  • Black Friday launch
  • Summer clearance
  • Always-on brand campaigns
Each saved view keeps the selected filter state for that campaign. That means a user can open the dashboard later, choose the saved view they want, and immediately see the dashboard with the right campaign filter already applied.

​
Schedule exports

If your workflow includes regular sharing, use scheduled exports so the dashboard can be sent automatically on a recurring basis. Schedule export dialog for recurring dashboard emails

​
Download a dashboard on demand

You can also download the current dashboard manually as:
  • PNG
  • PDF
This is useful when you want a snapshot for a deck, status update, or ad hoc share-out.

​
Extra chart controls inside dashboards

From an individual chart inside a dashboard, you can also:
  • Open a larger chart view.
  • Toggle table view.
  • Refresh live charts.
  • Remove a chart from the dashboard while keeping it in the chart library.

​
Tips

  • Use filters before duplicating a dashboard.
  • Save views with names that explain who or what they are for.
  • Export after applying the exact filters your audience needs.
