The Filters panel on the right of the dashboard provides data filtering options that affect the data displayed in the
widgets. You can change these filters to focus on more specific data.

Your Sisense user role determines how you can interact with filters. As a Designer you can create filters that are
distributed to Viewers who interact with your dashboards. See [Interacting with Filters as a Designer](https://docs.sisense.com/main/SisenseLinux/interacting-with-filters-as-a-designer-overview.md) for more
information.

Viewers can interact with filters and save their changes locally. See [Interacting with Filters as a Viewer](https://docs.sisense.com/main/SisenseLinux/interacting-with-filters-as-a-viewer-dashboard.md) for more
information.

Note:

You cannot filter dashboards on a mobile device's browser when they are embedded with iFrame or Embed SDK. In such cases, it is recommended to use the mobile app.
