Filtering a dashboard: Filter panels<br />

A filter panel is a type of panel stack that contains only selectors, which users<br />

interact with to filter the data displayed in a dashboard. For example, a<br />

dashboard displays sales data by product category for the years 2007 to<br />

2010. A user can filter the data to display sales data for only the books <strong>and</strong><br />

movies categories, <strong>and</strong> only for 2010.<br />
