Applying Permanent Filters to ControlUp Dashboards Based on Device Tags

In ControlUp, applying a permanent filter to a dashboard that restricts data to devices tagged with a specific label, such as “Eugene,” is not natively supported. While global filters can be set to apply across all dashboards, they cannot be configured to be permanent for a single dashboard or to restrict data to devices with a specific tag.

A workaround involves bookmarking the URL of the dashboard after applying the desired filter. This method ensures that the dashboard opens with the filter applied, displaying only devices tagged with “Eugene.” However, this approach has limitations:

– *Manual Application*: The filter must be manually applied each time the dashboard is accessed, as the URL does not retain the filter settings permanently.

– *URL Filter Bug*: There is a known issue with URL filters that is currently being addressed. This bug may affect the functionality of the URL-based filtering method.

For more detailed information on filtering devices by tags and creating customized views, refer to the ControlUp documentation on viewing your list of devices. ([support.controlup.com](https://support.controlup.com/docs/device-dashboard-overview?utm_source=openai))

As of now, there is no built-in feature in ControlUp that allows for the permanent application of a filter to a specific dashboard based on device tags. Users are advised to monitor updates from ControlUp for potential enhancements in this area.

For further assistance or to stay informed about updates, consider reaching out to ControlUp support or visiting the ControlUp Community forums.

Good day
is there a way in dashboard to apply a permanent filter on the dash, want to apply that the dashboard only shows devcies tagged with “Eugene”

You mean global filters / predefined?

Yes, but only on this dashboard (1 dashboard ) that who ever opens it, it will auto filter only on devices tagg with Eugene and you cant remove it, you can add more filters if you need to but it will only be on those device that are tagged Eugene

I believe if you bookmark the URL it will be static. I know that works when you select a specific timeframe but not sure about the filter. Worth a try though!

Yeah atm only with URL. But there is a small bug with URL filters that we are fixing
