Hey,

I created a line chart with 2 Y-axis, now I want to allow the user to hide a specific field.  
See the current output:

I wish there was something like checkbox near the field so I can decide which value I want to present.

Thanks  
Yaniv

In the metrics panel, you have "Disable aggregation" option (the eye icon):

thanks for the prompt answer, but what i meant is from the viewer perspective, what you showed is how to fo it from the administration point of view.  
I want a user to be able to do it in the sashboard.

I think that works by clicking on the value on the legend and then + -

Sorry, I misunderstood. You are right - clicking on `-` will filter out the item. Note that this is the same as adding a filter in the filter bar on the dashboard.
