To filter data visualizations and simple lists in a technical dashboard, add a filter component in UI Builder and configure event handlers.

## Before you begin

Role required: ui_builder_admin, admin

## Procedure

1. Locate the dashboard in the dashboard library and open it for editing, as described in [Edit Platform Analytics dashboards](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/IwvvrwmVEshvd6cyczXXGQ "You can edit dashboard and dashboard tab information in the inline editor. If the dashboard has been shared, any changes you make are applied globally.").  
   If the dashboard is a technical dashboard, you see an Edit in UI Builder button. If it is in the inline editor, you see an Edit button. In the latter case, go to [Create or add a filter on an inline dashboard](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/0thTiNrf5lrX6UD~pTwNtA "Create a filter or select one from the filter library. When creating a filter, name it, and choose whether to create a single select, multiple select, date, or true/false filter.").
2. If you are in a different application scope than the dashboard, use the application picker to select the correct scope.

3. Select Edit in UI Builder.
4. Add layout elements and a filter component as described in [Add and configure components](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=add-components&version=xanadu&pubname=xanadu-application-development&ft:locale=en-US).
5. Configure the filter as described in the [Filter component reference](https://developer.servicenow.com/dev.do#!/reference/now-experience/xanadu/now-components/sn-component-filter/overview) on the Developer Site.  
   This reference includes a description of each configuration field and general usage information that applies to UI Builder pages in general.  
   Important:  
   Be certain to configure the event handlers and page scripts to link the filter to the relevant data visualizations or lists.
