 Adding a filter option allows the person using the dashboard to instantly narrow down the dates that he/she wishes to focus on. Employing the use of a slider also allows the user to specify a range of dates that he/she might wish to analyse. This works best with the date option as analysing a range of dates might allow the user to discover new insights.

From a usability standpoint, having a slider allows the user to easily select the range of the time period wanted. This step is easier than using a checkbox/list, which requires multiple unnecessary clicks to achieve the same effect.

Implementation:

To achieve this slider filter function, simply do the following steps:

  1. Add the ‘Time’ dimension to the filter
  2. Select the range of dates to be included in the visualisation
  3. Show the filter
Interactive Technique 2: Hover
