Metabase's latest version introduces dashboard-wide filters, enhancing the flexibility and usability of its data visualization capabilities. Previously, users had to recreate dashboards with different configurations to view varied data perspectives, such as by date or category. Now, with the new filter feature, users can easily modify all cards on a dashboard simultaneously by adding filters for time (like month and year) or categories, allowing for dynamic and efficient data exploration. This update aims to simplify data interaction, making it more accessible even for less experienced team members, and Metabase encourages users to try out the new features and provide feedback.
