The filter panel is a collapsible panel in dashboards to accommodate frequently used filter widgets. This ensures the dashboard space is dedicated to visualization widgets.

*Changing order count through dedicated filter panel*

Any number of filter widgets is configurable in this filter panel as it is vertically scrollable and there is no space limitation. Plus, each can be connected to a different data source.

To add a filter panel to a dashboard from the Dashboard Designer canvas, click the **Configure Filter Panel** button in the toolbar at the top.

*Adding dimensions and expressions, each representing widget data, to the filter region*

The widget in the filter panel can be defined based on the column type.

*Selecting the appropriate filter widget and its properties*

In the case of multi-tab dashboards, each dashboard tab can be configured to have a similar dedicated filter panel.

*Dedicated filter panel for each tab in a multi-tab dashboard*

The filters added to this panel will act as a master for all other visualization widgets previously added to the canvas. The listener configuration can be customized through the [Dashboard Filters Configuration](https://help.syncfusion.com/dashboard-platform/dashboard-designer/compose-dashboard/configuring-dashboard-filters)
 options.
