Dashboard filters
One global filter bar re-slices every chart on a dashboard at once — a date range and a time grain that each chart maps to its own date column.
Step by step
- 1Open a dashboard and find the filter bar at the top.
- 2Pick a date-range preset (Last 7 days, Last 30 days, This month, All time, …) or a custom range.
- 3Choose a time grain — Day, Week, Month, Quarter, or Year — to re-bucket time-series charts.
- 4Charts refresh together; each maps the range to its own date column.
- 5A chart can be exempted from the global filter if it shouldn’t be date-scoped.

How mapping works
When you pin a date-based chart, Glimpse BI infers which column and dimension the global range should drive (its “filter mapping”). You can adjust or exempt the mapping per chart, so a KPI that should always show all-time totals can opt out.
Runtime parameters
Filter values flow into charts as bound runtime parameters — including into SQL-mode charts via {{gbi:date_from}} / {{gbi:date_to}} placeholders. Nothing is string-concatenated into the query.
