EB360: Preserving Dashboard Filters in Everbridge Advanced Reporting

Troubleshooting Issue

Users of Everbridge Suite's Advanced Reporting module may encounter issues with dashboard filters not being preserved when creating reports. This can lead to inconsistent data across charts and inaccurate report generation.

Root Cause

Several potential issues can cause filter changes to be lost:

• Filters not explicitly set in the Schedule dialog

• Filters not applied to all relevant tiles/charts

• Failure to save both filter and dashboard changes

• Incorrect application of filters before report generation

Additionally, in the current Advanced Reporting module, selected variables are displayed in rows by default, and users cannot automatically change the view to display variables as columns.

Solution

To properly set and save filters in Everbridge Advanced Reporting dashboards, follow these steps:

1. Edit the dashboard

2. Click the three-dot menu next to the filter

3. Edit the filter settings

4. Ensure the filter is applied to all desired tiles/visualizations

5. Save the filter changes

6. Save the dashboard changes

Before generating a report, double-check that the filters are applied correctly to ensure accurate data representation. This process ensures that all charts and visualizations in your dashboard use the same filter settings, providing consistent data across your reports.

Additional Information
