Hi fellow ELKs,

I've built several visualizations and then applied a filter to the dashboard. But not that I'm sure these are the filters I want to use I would like to make them permanent for this dashboard.

Is it possible to apply a Saved Search to an entire dashboard? Or edit each visualization and hardcoded it there?

I'm using Elastic Cloud btw!

Thanks  
Joao Correia

Hello,

This is a bit tricky. You can pin your filters - but that will get those filters applied to all the other dashboards.

[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.3/field-filter.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.3/field-filter.html)

You can also use input control visualization - [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/add-input-controls.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/add-input-controls.html)

Hope this helps

Thanks,
