Keep In Mind

While there's no technical limit to the number of charts you can add to a custom dashboard, we recommend only adding up to 18 charts per custom dashboard. Adding more than 18 charts can lead to slow load times.

Filtering Individual Charts in Custom Dashboards

In custom dashboards, you can apply different filter options and Views to each individual chart. This is especially helpful for creating side-by-side data comparisons. For example, consider a situation in which you wanted to see how your trends in per-processor approval rates differ between two issuers. To see this comparison in one place, you could create a custom dashboard containing two charts displaying the same data: Processor Approval Rate. Then, you could create two Views—one for each issuer—and apply these Views to the separate charts.

To filter an individual chart in a custom dashboard:

1. Click ... in the top-right corner of the chart, then click Add View.
2. To apply the filter settings from a previously saved View, select a View’s name from the menu.
3. To apply a new set of filters to the chart, click Create New View, opening the Create View side panel.
4. Name your new View.
5. Click each desired filter option, select the desired filter parameters, then click Apply Filters.
6. Click Create View.

Dashboard Filters vs. Chart Views

If you use a View to filter an individual chart in a custom dashboard and apply filters to the entire custom dashboard, the filter settings at the chart level take precedence over the dashboard-level filters. For example, if a chart's View includes the Card Type filter set to only show credit card data, but the dashboard is filtered by the Card Type filter to only show debit card data, the individual chart will default to credit card data per the chart-level filter.

Using Date Range Filters in Custom Dashboards

When you set the Date Range filter for a custom dashboard, you select a date range for the entire dashboard's data, along with a time interval to break the data down by (e.g. daily or weekly). Alternatively, you can apply a different date range to each chart in your dashboard using Views. This can be helpful for creating side-by-side comparisons of the same data parameters across different time periods.

To do so, follow the steps in the section above to add a new View to an individual chart; in the Create New View side panel, add a Date Range filter, then select a date range and time interval. If you want to use this same period filter on other charts in your dashboard, we recommend saving the View and naming it after the assigned time period.

Keep in mind, any charts in your custom dashboard to which you haven't applied an individual Date Range filter will default to the parameters set in the dashboard's Date Range filter.
