New

Following the release of Dashboards V2 in July, we are happy to share that our most requested dashboard feature - filters - is now available in your workspace.

But that’s not all. With filters come some additional new features to customize the appearance of dashboards and to improve the experience for dashboard viewers. Let’s break it all down.

1. Dashboard View & Edit mode

A dashboard can now be opened in one of two states:

  1. Edit mode
    Users with the right permissions can create and edit the dashboard and modify its settings.

  2. View mode
    People with the right permissions can view the dashboard and apply filters but not edit it.

For full details, see our help doc, Dashboard Edit and View modes.

2. Dashboard filters

You can add filters to a dashboard when in Edit mode. When applied in View mode, these filters change the data displayed in a dashboard's cells, charts, and tables.

What filters are available?

Columns from tables queried in connected sheets in the same workbook can be added as dashboard filters. At this stage, columns with a date format cannot be used as a filter.

Learn more, including how to combine multiple columns into a single filter, in our help doc, Dashboard filters.

3. Custom branding and appearance

When in Edit mode, you can change the appearance of the logo and name that appear at the top left of a dashboard when people view it.

Additionally, you can choose whether viewers can see when a dashboard's contents were last updated or when the least frequent scheduled query is set to run.

4. Custom links for sharing

Lastly, under Dashboard settings you can create a custom, cleaner-looking link for sharing dashboards with anyone who has access to them.


That’s it. We have more improvements to dashboard filters coming later this year with the planned release of another hotly requested feature, Data Validation. Until then, give these new features a try and let us know what you think.
