Support for Custom Filter Names in Dashboards

What is the problem or goal the end user is trying to solve or accomplish?

The customer wants the ability to assign custom names to filters that are different from the underlying dataset’s column names. This would allow them to use the same dataset column multiple times with different filter names and logic, enhancing the flexibility and usability of filters across dashboards. This is particularly useful when the same column needs to be filtered differently or displayed with different names in various contexts, such as "Primary Product" and "Secondary Product" filters both referencing the same product_code column.

How are they solving it currently?

Currently, the user has to rely on workarounds, such as duplicating columns in their datasets or manually adjusting filter display names. These workarounds add complexity and make the management of datasets and filters less efficient, particularly when dealing with multiple use cases that require different filtering approaches on the same dataset.


What is the recommended solution by the Customer?

The customer is requesting a feature that allows them to create custom names for filters, separate from the column names in the dataset. This feature would enable them to define multiple filters on the same column with distinct logic and unique, user-friendly names that enhance the dashboard experience for end-users.
