Hi,

Is it possible to create two separate controls in a dashboard and not have them both affect all other visualisations in the dashboard?

For example i would like Control A to affect visualisation 1 and 2 while Control B affects visualisation 3 and 4. Is this possible? If so, how?

Sorry, this is currently not possible. Controls are designed to affect the entire dashboard. You will need to create multiple dashboards to control them separately.

I must say this is something my team is badly after too - does anybody know whether this could have been addressed by a separate plugin?
