# Filter dashboards

There are two types of filters: static filters and dynamic filters. You can use static filters to keep consistent views in your dashboard. Dynamic filters let you explore data interactively in real time, adjusting insights on demand.

If you want to filter dashboard items, you’ll first need to enter edit mode.

To open the dashboard editor:

1. Go to your dashboard.
2. Select **Edit**.

## Static filters

Static filters are permanently applied to your dashboard. Every time you open the dashboard, your dashboard items display with these filters in place.

To add static filters to dashboard items:

1. Select the dashboard item you want to modify.
2. Select **Data**.
3. Select **Add filter**.
4. In the pop-up, select **Add filter**.
5. Create your filter, and select **Apply filters**.

## Dynamic filters

Dynamic filters let you interact with your data.

To add dynamic filters to dashboard items, select a specific bar or figure. Connected widgets update in real time, so you can explore specific data throughout your dashboard.

              Dynamic filters are temporary

              

Dynamic filters are **not saved**. Closing a dashboard resets your dashboard items.

Additionally, dynamic filters are not visible to other users in shared dashboards.
