Date filter (widget) dashboards

Hi,

I am using Date dimension, as a filter in the tab canvas.

Unfortunately, a large number of users cannot find the option to choose a date at first, it is very confusing and impractical. Is there any way to put Date_range like a prompts in the dashboard.

Something like this

Hi Vejko,

From the context menu you can pin tab-filters to canvas (left), or you can use list visualisations (middle) or dropdown-list visualisations (right). In this example for year and week separately, I haven't tried for date format.

Best,

Philipp

Thank you Philipp, but I need to choose a range, Date between Date_From and Date_To, which is the one, same, Column

Hi Veljko, Isn't then the left one the solution using a date column instead? The screenshot is in German, I think it is "Put on canvas" or similar in English. You can move it on the canvas like any other widget.
