"Protect filter" basically "hard-codes" a
filter so that it won't be overwritten. This ensures that the filter used
in the request is not lost or overwritten by another filter or dashboard prompt
that may supersede the request.
Say ,I have created a report with filters on "Prod Category” Column
I created a dashboard with prompt
on "Prod Category" and placed the created report.
selected "Peripherals and
accessories" values from the prompt and results are as follows
I applied other
filters("Electronics" ,"Hardware") as well but those were overwritten because filters are not protected.
Now, when I selected the value
"Peripherals and accessories" from the prompt ,I can see the
protected filter values as well as prompt filter values because filters are
protected now.
Thanks.
