Right-click a cell or row in a table widget to instantly apply it to your dashboard’s filters — no need to open the filter panel and search for the value yourself.

​
Filter by right-clicking a table

Every table widget on your dashboard can drive the filters that already exist on that dashboard. Right-click any cell, and if a filter targets that column, you’ll get a shortcut to apply it — right there, right then. Example: right-click a cell in the Status column where the value is Closed. If the dashboard already has a filter on Status, the context menu shows:
  1. Right-click any cell in a table widget.
  2. If the dashboard already has a filter for that cell’s column, Filter by [Column] = [value] appears in the menu.
  3. If other columns in that row also have filters, Filter by this row appears too — it sets every matching filter at once, in one click.
  4. Every widget that uses that filter updates immediately, everywhere on the dashboard.
Note: This only works with filters that already exist on the dashboard — right-clicking never creates a new one. If you don’t see a Filter by… option for a column, add a filter for it first from + Add Filter.

​
How the value gets applied

For a dropdown-style filter (like Status), clicking Filter by… replaces the current selection with the value you clicked — it doesn’t add to whatever was already selected. For a date filter, it sets a single day as the range.

​
When a column doesn’t match automatically

Sometimes the column name shown in a table doesn’t match its real name in your data source — for example, if the underlying query renames status to s. When that happens, right-click filtering can’t tell the two are the same column. Filter Mapping lets you point it in the right direction, by hand, once.
Tip: You’ll only ever need this for renamed columns. Most tables need no setup at all — right-click filtering already works automatically whenever a column’s name matches its source.

​
Setting up a mapping

  1. Open the table widget’s Table Settings (the pencil icon on the widget), then switch to the Filter Mapping tab.
  2. For the column that isn’t matching, open its dropdown — real columns from your data source are listed, grouped by table.
  3. Pick the real column it actually comes from. Leave anything already working as Not mapped — no need to touch it.
  4. Click Save Changes, then save the dashboard. Right-click filtering on that column now works.
Note: Mapping is entirely manual — nothing gets guessed or auto-filled. Some columns are computed from an expression and don’t have one single real column behind them; those simply stay Not mapped, and right-clicking them just won’t offer a filter shortcut. Everything else on the table keeps working normally.

Quick answers

Does mapping a column create a new filter? No. Mapping only helps right-click filtering recognize a column that already has a matching filter elsewhere on the dashboard — it never adds a new filter by itself. What if I map a column to the wrong source? Open its dropdown any time and pick a different one, or choose Not mapped to clear it. Nothing is permanent until you click Save Changes. Do I need to map every column on the table? No — only the ones that are renamed and that you actually want to use with right-click filtering. Everything else is unaffected. Does this affect Drill Through or Related Questions? No, those are separate features and work exactly as they did before.
