> @junlincc Some elaboration on 'simple filter: > > The native filter groups all filters in one generic sidebar which might be useful if you have a lot of filters that apply to all slices. > If however you have only a small set of filters (or just one), the side bar layout is in my opinion unneccesary and less user friendly. Currently we use for example one filter box with 2 entries at the top of page. > Or we use multiple filter boxes (different tabs) that each filter only a specific set of slices. The position of the filterbox makes it clear to the user which slices will be filtered. > When using the sidebar it is unclear which filter will apply to which slice (only visible after you applied it). > Other BI tools such as Tableau keep the dasbhoard filter as a dashboard component that has to be positioned somewhere on the dashboard instead of external sidebar. FYI we've retained the possibility of adding native filters as regular chart components, in which case they work much like filter boxes (in this case they become charts with cross filters rather than native filters). We still need to refine the UX, but check this PR to see how this feature is progressing (in the example the native select filter is added to the dashboard): https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/13625 ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
