True or False: A filter can only apply to a single tab of a dashboard.

The assertion that a filter can apply only to a single tab of a dashboard is false. In many analytics platforms, including those typically covered in the Certified Implementation Specialist – Platform Analytics training, filters can be designed to function across multiple tabs or components within a dashboard. This allows users to apply the same criteria simultaneously to various visualizations or data sets presented across different tabs, enhancing the ability to compare and analyze data comprehensively.

By utilizing global filters, any adjustments made to filter parameters update all relevant components on the dashboard, regardless of which tab the user is currently viewing. This capability improves user experience by providing consistent insights while navigating through different sections of the dashboard.

The other options—such as suggesting it only depends on dashboard settings, or that filtering is limited to admin users—do not accurately represent the capabilities of filter application in common dashboard configurations. Filters typically serve broader usability purposes that extend beyond rigid rules or user access levels, making them a versatile tool for data analysis.
