Cascading filters for independent dimensions

Hello Team,

We have a use case for dependent filters where we want to control(lock/unlock) each filter unlike existing dependent filters functionality where filters are grouped.

We're using a live connection. For eg, If we have Product, Geography & Time. I want to all products under "Product" filter dropdown that are only relevant to "US" when "US" is selected as Geography filter.

Right now this can be only achieved using dependent filters , where we cant enable/disable each filter within a widget.

TIA

Note :This cannot be done through the frontend dashboard unless we add dependent filters. However, it's great that we found a solution through embedding "

Hello @abhinavt,

Thank you for your question.

I was able to find this post that may help, https://community.sisense.com/t5/build-analytics/hide-dashboard-filter-based-on-filter-title/m-p/188...

You can also use drill-downs to achieve a similar result. Allow users to drill down into sub-reports that contain only the relevant data.

I hope that helps. Please keep me posted.
