## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## About this task

When you disable multiple element selection on a breakdown
dashboard, users of that dashboard are only able to filter the dashboard's widgets on
one element of the breakdown.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllSelf-ServiceDashboards or AllPerformance AnalyticsDashboards.
2. Select the breakdown dashboard that you want to filter by only one breakdown element at a time.
3. From the context menu, select Dashboard Properties.
4. Select Disable multiple element selection.  
   This option is available when there is at least one breakdown source in the dashboard's Breakdown Source related list.
5. Click Update.

## Result

When you filter the dashboard on breakdown elements, you can select only one breakdown element. The widgets on the dashboard follow the single breakdown element selected. When you select elements or clear selected elements, you have to click Apply to make this choice.
