Reports - Global Filters for Dashboards and Reports
B
Bright Labs
- Apply filters that affect all Ad widgets on reports and dashboards.
- Another feature: Apply filters to a specific section only. For example, one section has 30 widgets, and this bulk update function will update those 30 widgets with a specific ad campaign.

I don't know if this is the write feature request to add to, but it would be great to add filters globally for reports and dashboards rather than adding the filter to each graph on a report or dashboard.

Sara West: Thank you for your suggestion! It's possible to use global filters in some integrations. For example, Facebook Ads allows you to filter your data by Campaign in your integration's settings.
Could you please let us know which integrations and specific filters you'd like to see added? This information will help our Product Team understand your needs better.

David - AgencyAnalytics Team - yes, we use the global filters heavily; however, those filters either have to be set at the Campaign level or the widget/module level. It would be great to set them for an entire dashboard without having to add it to each widget/module or a page of a report without having to add it to each widget/module. It's extremely time consuming to add the filter on each widget/module.

Want the ability to filter by location for every type of report. Not a deal breaker, but was the feedback from the data analyst.

This would be a HUGE time saver. At the moment we have to edit EVERY widget which means teh whole templated dashboard is a bit pointless.
Old way = duplicate a dashboard > Edit every widget to filter it's campaigns (10-20 times)
New way = Duplicate dashboard > edit the global filter. Done.

@Bright Labs Thank you for your feature suggestion! Are you referring to your Google Ads data or to data from any of your other Ad integrations?

David - AgencyAnalytics Team: Hi David, primarily Facebook & Google Ad Campaigns. However the feature of applying a campaign filter to an entire dashboard or report, should apply to all ad platforms.

David - AgencyAnalytics Team: This is MUCH needed, and crazy that it's not already available. We shouldn't have to update every widget when the whole dashboard is using the same filter. This should be available for all ad platform integrations.
