Enhanced Ad Hoc filter support
Because Ad Hoc filters can’t be reliably implemented on SQL data sources, we’re introducing a new way forward. Starting with this release, you can now query a dataset from a first panel using a SQL data source, then build the rest of your dashboard on top of that dataset - and use Ad Hoc filters to drill into it.
This is enabled by two key enhancements:
- Dashboard data source support - You can now define Ad Hoc Filters in dashboards that use the
-- Dashboard --
data source. - Set filters from the Bar Chart tooltip - Previously, setting Ad Hoc Filter values was only possible on Table visualizations. Now, you can do this from the Bar Chart as well.
Together, these updates unlock a flexible workflow: a single source panel defines the dataset, and Ad Hoc filters make it easy to explore and refine.
