Cross-Filtering in Apache Superset and Preset: Explore Every Angle

Enabling self-serve analytics is essential for companies aiming to enhance data-driven decision-making, as it allows data consumers to conduct personalized analyses beyond pre-prepared charts and dashboards by centralized data teams. Cross-filtering is a feature that facilitates this by enabling users to apply ad-hoc filters directly on chart elements within dashboards, without needing to set up new filters each time. This capability, now more widely accessible in Apache Superset and Preset, empowers users with any workspace role, such as Viewer, to interact with and explore data more deeply. Previously, only chart builders could enable cross-filtering, limiting the ability of users with restricted permissions to self-explore. The recent update now allows cross-filtering on various chart types like ECharts and time series charts, with the flexibility to scope filters to specific visualizations or disable them when necessary. This feature is included in all Preset subscription plans, encouraging users to take advantage of self-serve analytics by creating and interacting with dashboards.
