Shared Dashboard Filters

Last updated - 11 May, 2026

Shared dashboard filters are saved sets of resource or instance property filters are accessed by multiple users and apply across multiple dashboards. Shared filters are not tied to a single dashboard, enabling consistent filtering without recreating criteria.

When you apply a shared dashboard filter, supported widgets update dynamically based on the defined filter criteria. You can apply filters to update dashboard views, map them to dashboards for reuse, and save them for future use.

For more information on applying, mapping, editing, and deleting shared filters, see Shared Dashboard Filter Management.

Shared Dashboard Filter Groups

Shared dashboard filter groups are used to organize and manage shared dashboard filters.

Each shared dashboard filter must belong to a group. These groups act as containers that define how filters are organized and who can access them.

Shared filter groups enable the following:

• Organization of filters into logical categories
• Controlled access across users
• Centralized management of shared filters

Your permissions control how you can use a shared filter group—from viewing and applying filters to creating, editing, cloning, or deleting them.
