Slicers are visual filters that dynamically filter the data at run-time and make the dashboard more effective and interactive. The scope of influence that slicers have on the dashboard includes the scenarios that are on the same page and on different pages of the dashboard as well, that use the same dataset. It allows the users to use the slicers with multiple-page dashboards.
The following table explains the different types of built-in slicers available in Wyn Enterprise. You can also create a custom slicer based on your business requirements.
On the Data Binding area, choose an appropriate dataset and then select an attribute for the Columns field. For example, in the following image, we selected the 'Customer Satisfaction' attribute.

To bind the slicer to custom data, set the Data Source property in the Inspector panel to Custom Values, and then add customized values based on your needs. By, default, this property is set to From Query.
Select any data attribute for the Columns field. For example, in the following image, we selected the 'Customer Satisfaction' attribute.
Click the Edit button in the upper-right corner of the slicer. You will get the following options: select parameter, no sort, search, and share scenario.
If you choose any data value in the edit mode of the slicer, the value is set as its default value. To clear the selected value and restore the slicer to its initial state, use the Clear Selection editing option which is now available. In the following image, we selected 'Average' as the default value for the slicer.
Apply filter or sort operation on the data values using the Action Bar corresponding to the selected slicer. For example, the data values for the 'Customer Satisfaction' field are manually sorted in the below slicer.
Note: Slicers like data range, date range, and relative date do not support the filter and sort operations on their data values.
In the Inspector tab of the slicer, you can define various properties related to its layout, interaction, data, title, and so on. For example, if you want to set or modify the text alignment in the slicer, use the Alignment property as shown.
Preview the dashboard.
In the following dashboard, data is filtered based on the 'Customer Satisfaction' values selected in the slicer.
This section explains the scope of influence that slicers have on the dashboard scenarios based on the filters. You can find Slicer Filter Scope on the Inspector tab.
