How can I get the newer style of filters to behave like legacy filters?

Hi! A lot of my dashboards were designed so that the end user can select different Facilities in a dashboard filter and export the dashboard as a pdf to then send to the specified facility's staff. W...

    Hey lring​ and Astroraf​ 

    I believe this doesn't necessarily have to do with the new or legacy filters, rather the way the filters effect the widget. In each widget's design panel one can configure how the dashboard filters are to effect the values, either by 'Highlight' or 'Slice/Filter'

    Highlight will keep all values in the widget and only highlight the selected filter value, while 'Slice/Filter' will keep only the selected filter value and completely remove the others. See screenshot below.

    Give this a go and see if that does the trick, this may have been switched when you're version was upgraded and configured to use the new filter version.

    In any case, you can also revert back to the legacy filters.To revert to legacy filters in Sisense, you need to disable the newer default filter options within the Feature Management section of the Filter settings. Specifically, you need to turn off "Date / Time Filters", "Numeric Filters", and "Textual Filters". 

    Here's how to revert to legacy filters as admin:

    1. Access Feature Management: Navigate to the Feature Management section within Sisense.
    2. Locate Filter Settings: Find the filter settings or section within Feature Management.
    3. Disable Default Filters: Turn off the following options:
      • Date / Time Filters
      • Numeric Filters
      • Textual Filters
    4. Save Changes: Make sure to save the changes to apply the filter setting changes.

    By disabling these default filter options, you will effectively revert to the legacy filter behavior for those filter types.
