Hi everyone,

I love the Airtable interfaces and am interested in using the new dashboard interface layout (as opposed to using the legacy charts on a blank layout, which is what I currently do).

However, one very critical element of the dashboard interface layout is missing: I am not able to locate any way for a user to filter the data by a custom date range. 

Sure, I can use pre-set filters for general date ranges (this year, this month, any other range I choose as the person building the dashboard) but the purpose of seeing our data on a dashboard is to be able to answer questions like "what does the data look like between January 1st and January 4th?" The user needs to be able to filter the data based on the date ranges that are important to them. They should not have to ask the team member in charge of the interface builder to add a tab filter for every single range they want to review and compare all year.

Any ideas on how to move forward with this? The dashboard and charts are useless to our team if interface users can't filter dashboard data by date.

There are different clickable areas on the screen that give you different options in the right margin.

Be sure that you’re clicking on the group, and then you will have the ability to enable user filter options.

Hope this helps! If you’d like to hire an expert Airtable consultant to help you with anything Airtable-related, please feel free to contact me through my website: Airtable consultant — ScottWorld

There is a "User Filters" section for the Dashboard layout. See attached photo. Screenshot 2025-01-13 at 11.45.42.png
