Selective Liveboard filters
When you create or view a Liveboard, you may want to filter the visualizations on the Liveboard, to only see data that is relevant to your role, for example. However, you may not want a filter to apply to every visualization in the Liveboard. For example, the head of sales in North America may want to filter most visualizations to only contain data about sales in North America, but may want to compare her sales to an unfiltered global quarterly sales metric.
You can apply Liveboard filters to specific visualizations from the Configure filters modal.
To learn more about Liveboard filters, refer to Liveboard filters and Linked Liveboard filters.
