Dashboard filter limits the list selection
I have a dashboard filter that is used to select specific annual reporting periods. For example: 2025-2026 The field should include all the reporting periods for each data model. Meaning if a data model has reporting periods that range from 2022 to 2026, the selection list should include: 2022 - 2023 2023 - 2024 2024 - 2025 2025 - 2026 However, for one particular field, the listing does not include anything earlier than 2024 - 2025 (See screen capture) However, if I select Include all...My results in the dashboard widget will include data from all 4 report periods. Any suggestions as to why this is happening?
Filter Dashboard by Last 24 Hours
In my industry, we mostly work 12 or 24 hour shifts with the most common shift change time being 0600. I have a great dashboard built that looks at the last day and calculates time on task. The only problem is that the only filter that comes close is 'Yesterday' which is looking at 00:00-23:59 on the last calendar day. I need to be able to look at 06:00 on day one to 06:00 the next day. I tried a couple of tweaks by using the 'Advanced' feature under the filter but none of them worked. Including trying a fractional offset of 0.75. My goal is to have this auto run at 0800 every morning. So, the 'advanced' tab would look like this, { "last": { "count": 24, "offset": 2 } } I can't make that work now though because the advanced tab only lets you edit the filter for the time period selected and hours isn't a choice. We are using an embedded version of Sisense so I can't edit anything in 'The Cube'.
Filter to only show Relevant Dimension Values
Morning Sisense community! I have my Fact Table and a related Dimension Table. My dimension table contains more unique values than are actually present in the fact table. When I use a field from the Dimension Table as a filter, the filter displays all values from the dimension, even those that have no corresponding fact records. I only want the filter to show dimension values that are relevant to the data in the fact table. Example Tables: fact_table dimension_table id dim_id dim_id dim_name 1 1 1 one 2 2 2 two 3 1 3 three 4 2 4 four fact_table and dimension_table have a relationship in the EC based on dim_id Desired Outcome: In the filter based on dim_name, I only want to see "one" and "two", but currently, I see all four: "one," "two," "three," and "four." How do I achieve my desired outcome?Advanced Dynamic Filtering
Get quick, comparative insights from large datasets by creating flexible pivot tables or widgets. Whether comparing time periods, countries, or sales figures, you can leverage a single filter to handle multiple comparisons without clutter. This method uses custom fields, measured values, ranking filters, and the smart label plugin to streamline comparisons across various dimensions for clean, dynamic visualizations.Dynamically Updating Widget Titles Based on Filter Selections in Sisense (Linux)
Dynamically Updating Widget Titles Based on Filter Selections in Sisense (Linux) Introduction This article guides how to dynamically change the title of a Sisense widget based on the filter selection. While this is an advanced solution and not natively supported by Sisense functionality, a custom script can be used to achieve this effect. Please proceed with caution, as this is a custom implementation. [ALT Text: A dashboard display titled "Europe, USA (by Region)" showing a gauge indicating an "Actual Margin" of 0.22. The gauge ranges from -0.25 to 0.25. A sidebar lists regions: Europe, N/A, and USA, with checkboxes next to each.] Step-by-Step Guide Navigate to the desired dashboard in Sisense and select the widget you want to change the title dynamically. Open the widget's settings and access the script editor under the 3 dots menu > Edit Script. Copy and paste the following code into the widget's script editor: widget.on("render", function () { let title = "by Region"; // Set a default title // Find the specific filter by its column name let filterUsed = dashboard.filters.$$items.find( (filter) => filter.jaql.column === "Region" ); // Determine the filter text or set default let filterText = filterUsed && filterUsed.jaql.filter.members?.length ? filterUsed.jaql.filter.members.join(", ") : "All Regions"; // Flag to prevent multiple updates let isModified = false; if (!isModified) { widget.title = filterText + ' ' + title; isModified = true; } }); Adjust the filter.jaql.column value instead of "Region" in the script to match the actual filter you intend to use. Update the default title instead of "by Region". Modify the "All Regions" value to be displayed for the “Include All” filter. Save the changes in the script editor. Apply different filter selections on your dashboard to verify that the widget title updates according to the chosen filters. Troubleshooting and Limitations: Ensure that the filter column specified in the script matches an existing filter on the dashboard. The script works only for filters of include type. For excluding filters the additional logic should be implemented. Conclusion By following the steps outlined above, you can set up your Sisense widget titles to dynamically update based on filter selections. While this approach offers flexibility, it involves a custom script and requires careful handling, as modifications made this way are outside Sisense's standard support. Disclaimer: This post outlines a potential custom workaround for a specific use case or provides instructions regarding a specific task. The solution may not work in all scenarios or Sisense versions, so we strongly recommend testing it in your environment before deployment.

Hi DRay and friends, I am trying to allow my users to filter for multiple different zip codes, and specific zip codes to their use cases. Right now in Sisense a user would have to search and click the ones they want, I know with custom code filtering then can give the codes they want to filter for. Is there any easier way, maybe BloX, where a user can search/filter for multiple zip codes without looking them up/without using the custom code filter option? example: { "explicit": true, "multiSelection": true, "members": [ 33825, 34420, 33834, 33525, 34432, 32134, 33843, 34690, 34691, 33852, 33810, 34638, 34639, 33549, 33559, 33558, 34652, 34470, 34471, 34472, 34473, 34474, 34475, 34476, 34479, 34480, 34481, 34482, 33556, 32179, 34683, 34684, 33576, 33870, 33872, 33875, 33584, 34488, 34491, 33604, 33605, 33610, 33612, 33613, 33614, 33617, 33618, 33619, 33624, 33625, 33637, 33647, 33603, 33607, 33609, 33615, 33626, 33634, 33635, 34689, 33592, 33873, 33543, 33545, 33544, 33540, 33541, 33542, 33823, 33827, 33830, 34714, 33523, 33837, 33896, 33897, 33838, 33839, 33841, 33844, 33847, 33855, 33849, 34759, 33850, 33851, 33853, 33859, 33898, 33801, 33803, 33805, 33809, 33811, 33812, 33813, 33815, 33854, 33860, 33856, 33868, 33867, 33877, 34787, 33880, 33881, 33884 ] }Add presets to a Blox date filter widget
We have some dashboards that have widgets as filters. One of these is a Blox widget that functions as a date filter, which I created with help from the community here. I recently added presets to the date filter to make it easier and faster to apply date filtering.

Sisense includes a native included feature and format for passing URL filters via URL parameters, as documented here. By default, this functionality copies filters in full, including the datasource parameter of the filter, and includes every filter automatically. It results in very long URL's, and includes many parameters that are not always required, as the full filter object is included. Previous Knowledge Base articles articles have discussed how similar behavior can be recreated customized via scripting for more flexible usage. However, those approaches applied only to member-type filters, excluding other filter types and multi-level dependent filters. The code shared below demonstrates a more flexible filter modification via URL modification approach. It includes both creating URL parameters and reading URL parameters for filter modification, whether this code is in a script or plugin. This method applies to all filter types and can be used to transfer filters between dashboards using different datasources. This code works in both dashboard and widget scripts as well as plugins. If your datasources use different dimension names, this code can be adopted to map and match the aligned dimensions.
