Filters

General considerations

Filters should be located on the left side of dashboards that are landscape and on the top of dashboards that are portrait.

The width of the filters’ container (on landscape visualizations), or height of the filters’ container (on portrait visualizations) may be reduced where filter names allow, but must be the same across all dashboards of a single workbook.

Group multiple filters together in a layout container.

All filters/Parameters/Instructions/Legends/Any other text in filter panel, needs a border with the following format:

Use #b4b4b4 color second thinnest solid border around layout container.

Structure from top to bottom in landscape, left to right in portrait, for example, school/college, department, course, etc.

Legend

If a legend applies to all views, place in layout container with filters.

If a legend applies to one view, place as close to view as possible.

Cascading

Fill layout container with 33% #b4b4b4color.

Select “only relevant values.”

Non-cascading

Do not fill background color.

Do not select “only relevant values.”
