Best Practice Filter Pane in Service and Mobile App Uses vs. Slicers on a Report Tab
- Anonymous8 years ago
erinn_mitchell Typically the Slicers are really useful for the quick filters that end users will use alot. In many cases, users want many more filters and those can be easily applied to the filters pane.
Alternatively, the filters pane allows for a "Set Once" experiance by allowing users to set the filters in "Report Filters" and navigate to multiple pages with the same filter context.
Usage would/should vary depending on the end user needs.
In terms of use cases where applying a filter for the dataset that the end user doesn't understand, and where removing it causes an issue... there is no good solution yet as they can remove it temporarily.
Overall, it just depends on need/wants of the end user or look/feel of the reports
Thank you for your help and quick response!
