Every Leanmote dashboard exposes the same Filter Options panel plus a date selector. Learn it once and it works everywhere. This article walks through what's in the panel and the two comparison modes available today.
Where to find it
In the top-right of any dashboard you'll find a date selector (e.g., "Last 30 days") and a Filters button. Clicking Filters opens the Filter Options panel with the dimensions that apply to the current dashboard.
Filter dimensions
The Filter Options panel typically includes:
Compare with — see Comparison Options below.
Select projects — Jira projects, Linear projects, ClickUp Spaces, and so on, depending on your planning integration.
Parent tasks — narrow to a parent epic or initiative.
Work items — issue types like Bug, Story, Support, Task.
Teams — one or many teams from your org structure.
The exact dimensions available vary by dashboard; some surfaces add or omit fields. Active filters show as chips above the dashboard, and Clear all resets them in one click.
The date range is set separately from the panel via the date selector in the top-right.
Advanced filters
The dropdowns in the panel are the quick path. When a list is long — hundreds of repositories, say — click Advanced filters at the bottom of the panel to open the same filters in a full dialog with room to work.
Pick a filter on the left, then choose its values on the right. The filter list is a sortable table with three columns:
Name — the filter's label.
Group — the group it belongs to in the underlying list.
Source — which integration its values come from.
Sort by any column, or choose Sort by selection to bring what you've already picked to the top.
Each column header has a funnel icon that narrows the list without changing your selection. A condition is an operator plus a value — contains, starts with, ends with, is exactly, is one of — and conditions combine with and / or. Group them when one rule isn't enough. A counter tells you how many conditions are narrowing the list, and Clear removes them.
For selecting in bulk:
Select all takes every option in the filter, whatever the conditions.
Select shown takes only what the current conditions leave visible.
Only selected hides everything you haven't picked, so you can review a long selection.
You can also move a selection between Views of the same organization: Copy selection as a list puts it on the clipboard, and Select from a pasted list reads it back, one item per line. Pasting replaces that filter's current selection, and the dialog reports anything it couldn't find.
The footer counts what you have selected out of the total, and how many rows the conditions are showing.
Nothing reaches the dashboard until you apply. View diff shows the pending changes — what Apply will add and remove — and both Apply and Reset confirm first, so a long selection is never lost to a stray click.
Comparison Options
The Compare with dropdown controls whether metrics show a period-over-period delta. There are two options:
No Comparison — show the current period only. Metric cards display the current value with no delta indicator.
Preceding Period — compare against the period of the same length immediately before the selected date range. Each metric card shows a delta versus that prior window.
When Preceding Period is selected, deltas appear as colored indicators on each metric (improving vs regressing depends on the metric — for cycle time a decrease is good; for throughput an increase is good).
Saving a filter combination
If you apply the same filters every week, save them as a View. Views are how you share a named, one-click filter combo with the team. See Creating a View.
Tips
Use relative date ranges ("Last 30 days") rather than absolute dates so the View stays useful as time passes.
Don't stack too many filters — anyone reading the dashboard should be able to interpret the scope at a glance.
Standardize team names and project scopes across the org so a "Platform" filter means the same thing for everyone.
