  3. For each visualization you want to filter:
    • Click the menu (top-right corner of the visualization)
    • Select Edit to open the visualization editor
    • In the editor, add a new filter
    • Set:
      • Field: Timestamp

      • Value: (leave this empty)
    • Click Save

🎛️ Step 2: Create the Dashboard Filter​

  2. Fill the fields as follows:
    • Label: Timestamp
    • Source: Chat Facts
    • Member: Timestamp
  3. Click Save

🔗 Step 3: Link Dashboard Filter to Visualizations​

Your dashboard now supports a global time range filter. Just adjust it from the top bar and all linked visualizations will update instantly.

This makes it super easy to analyze trends over different time periods with just a few clicks.
