new vs. legacy filtering UI -- are there functional differences?

[bminehart]

We haven't enabled the new filtering UI in our Sisense tenant yet, because I am unaware of any compelling functionality changes/improves with the new UI. But now that I see that Sisense is forcing the new UI in an upcoming release, I am re-evaluating whether we should start using the new UI.

So to that end, and since I cannot find any comparisons online, and disregarding the look and feel of the new filtering UI: are there functional differences with how filtering works with the new UI?

Hello @bminehart,

Thank you for reaching out. I see your question hasn't gotten a response yet, so I'm asking internally to try and get you an answer.

Hi @bminehart,

I haven't been able to find a compare/contrast doc, but here is the documentation on the new filters. https://docs.sisense.com/main/SisenseLinux/creating-dashboard-filters-1.htm

I would say the main difference is around the Date Filter, which previously did not provide an out of the Box drop down for List of predefined selections such as: This Month, Last Month, This Year, etc.

Hi @bminehart,

Did that explanation help? If not, I can see about getting a more detailed answer.

Hi @DRay , that's enough info for me. Thanks!
