== Enhance dashboards
|
|
|
|
You can add filter panels to interact with the data in your visualization panels, and Markdown panels to add context to the data.
|
|
To make your dashboard look the way you want, use the editing options.

[[add-controls]]
|
|
=== Add controls
|
|
|
|
To filter the data on your dashboard in real-time, add a *Controls* panel or use a map panel to <<maps-map-extent-filter, filter you dashboard by map extent>>.
|
|
|
|
{kib} supports two types of *Controls*:
|
|
|
|
* *Options list* — Filters content based on one or more specified options. The dropdown menu is dynamically populated with the results of a terms aggregation.
|
|
For example, use the options list on the sample flight dashboard when you want to filter the data by origin city and destination city.
|
|
|
|
* *Range slider* — Filters data within a specified range of numbers. The minimum and maximum values are dynamically populated with the results of a
|
|
min and max aggregation. For example, use the range slider when you want to filter the sample flight dashboard by a specific average ticket price.

. On the dashboard, click *All types*, then select *Controls*.
|
|
|
|
. Click *Options*, then configure the following options:
|
|
|
|
* *Update {kib} filters on each change* — When selected, all interactive inputs create filters that refresh the dashboard. When unselected,
|
|
{kib} filters are created only when you click *Apply changes*.
|
|
|
|
* *Use time filter* — When selected, the aggregations that generate the options list and time range are connected to the <<set-time-filter,time filter>>.
|
|
|
|
* *Pin filters for all applications* — When selected, all filters created by interacting with the inputs are automatically pinned.
|
|
|
|
. Click *Update*

[[add-text]]
|
|
=== Add text
|
|
|
|
Add text panels with *Markdown* when you want to provide context to the other panels on your dashboard, such as important information, instructions, and images.
|
|
|
|
*Markdown* is a text entry field that accepts GitHub-flavored Markdown text. For information about GitHub-flavored Markdown text, click *Help*.
|
|
|
|
. From the dashboard, click *All types*, then select *Text*.
|
|
|
|
. In the *Markdown* field, enter the text, then click *Update*.
|
|
|
|
For example, when you enter:
|
|
|
|
[role="screenshot"]
|
|
image::images/markdown_example_1.png[]
|
|
|
|
The following instructions are displayed:
|

|
|
|
|
Or when you enter:
|
|

|
[role="screenshot"]
|
