A filter is a tool to explore data through specific dimensions.
โDimensionsโ is usually opposed to โFactsโ. They are categories for data. For example โCountryโ, โBusiness Unitโ, โBrandโ, and โYearโ are dimensions.
Viewers, using the App you created, will therefore be guided into their data analysis by interacting with the filters and getting answers to questions to get their job done, such as:
โWhat are the sales figures for [This Country] during [This Year]?โ
In order to help you design an App that will be easy to use by your end-users, we have defined different scopes & types of filters.
Filters are essential as theyโre global and reusable throughout the entire App. Their location in Stories, Home, and Dashboard Builder is thought to explicitly highlight their importance: they are the main point of view that you want your end-users to discover.
Filters are a way for App Builders to think about the global message they want to communicate. They are also making it possible to address different user populations within the same App with strong permissions rules (cf. Permissions).
Toucan wants you to build once and then deploy anywhere and to anyone.
Youโll be able to let your user select a single value, a multiplicity of values, or a range of values.
