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.

AI filter input on an open dashboard Examples: * Last 90 days only * Region equals North America * Show enterprise customers with revenue above 100k Vizkraft parses your request into dashboard filters and shows a short explanation of what was applied. You can: * Submit a new filter query to refine the slice. * Open **History** to re-apply a previous AI filter. * Clear AI filters to return to manual filter controls. AI filters work alongside manual filters. If you already applied manual filters, Vizkraft takes them into account when parsing your next query. ## Smart filters Smart filters are AI-suggested filter shortcuts based on your dashboard's charts and data.

Review suggested filter badges (for example, a high-value segment or recent time window). 3. Click a badge to configure and apply it. 4. Use **Regenerate smart filters** if your dashboard layout changed or you added new charts. Smart filters that are already applied are hidden from the suggestion list so you do not duplicate them. ## 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.
