Change Dashboard Focus
Use dashboard focus when you want the dashboard to reflect a narrower slice of your data instead of the entire workspace.
Changing focus is useful when you want to remove an existing focus, switch to a broader view, or reset the dashboard before applying a different filter.
Before You Start
- Open the dashboard you want to update.
- Check the current focus so you know whether you want to clear it or replace it.
Steps
- Click the dashboard focus selector.
- Select the focus you want to explore.
- Click Save to apply the change.
When Should I Change Dashboard Focus?
- When you want to broaden the dashboard back to the full workspace.
- When the current focus no longer matches the question you are investigating.
- When you want to clear the current scope before applying a different focus.
Tips
- Clear the focus when the dashboard feels too narrow or overly specific.
- Save the change before continuing so the dashboard refreshes with the new scope.
- Review the dashboard after clearing focus to make sure the broader view matches your intent.
Example
