I am trying to filter my data in Canvas using two drop downs.  
When someone selects an option from the first dropdown, the second one is automatically filtered to only contain options within their first selection.  
I also want the person to be able to select a specific time range.  
Is there a way to execute these filters sequentially?

Hello,

I am not sure what does executing these filters sequentially means? It will help to have a user scenario 🙂  
I see that you can add in drop down and timefilters.

I am using canvas to filter based on a person's username and device addresses. I want the user to first select from a "username" dropdown, and after the username is selected be able to pick the available addresses under that user. Does that make sense?
