Manage Datasets in Dashboard Components

You can control whether components inherit data source linking from the dashboard in which the component is created.

To manage data filtering and faceting in a component, select a component and then select or deselect the Allow Filtering and Faceting check box.

When selected, filtering and faceting is available in both the dashboard and components in the dashboard. When deselected, filtering and faceting is available in the dashboard only.

Keep these considerations in mind when managing components and datasets.

• Components follow all dashboard-level data viewing, editing, and security rules.
• You can use data source linking to facet data in components the same way you facet data in dashboards. Use the dashboard designer to link datasets in components.
• Component access is based on app access. If you have access to an app, you also have access to components and datasets in that app.
• Components saved in a private app aren't available to other users or public apps, which means the component can be used in other apps, but its contents are visible only by you.
