I am creating a canvas and I want a Time Filter bar to select a specific date and all my elements from the canvas to adapt to that new time range. How can I do that? I have just added a filter bar in my canvas where are the rest of elements and when I select an specific date nothing happens. Thank you in advance ---

Most Canvas expressions start with `filters | ...` for this reason. You can also group filters by assigning them a group ID, and then use `filters groupName="name" | ` to have different filters for different elements. ---

Yes, I know that you can do that if you work with queries, but if you are using a savedvisualization, there is a mandatory field that says timerange that if you put a filter before it, i think it overrides the value. savedVisualization id="45ce8f50-240a-11eb-b321-2d4230c55aff" **timerange={timerange from="now-2d" to="now"}** | render Then, how do I have to do it to apply a filterBar group to those savedVisualizations and make it work with that instad of the timerange? Thank you very much ---

I asked the Canvas team about this. You are required to provide a timerange to the `savedVisualization`, but the `filters` are also including a time range. These time ranges will get applied together using AND, so you can intersect the time ranges. ---

Mmmm sounds good but I still don't see the way to implement it working. Would be so nice if you could make a small tutorial on how to combine filter bars and saveobjects since there are not on the internet. Thanks again! ---

It's just `filters | savedVisualization timerange={...}` ---

Nop, not working, my code is the following: | filters mygroup | savedVisualization id="45ce8f50-240a-11eb-b32-2d4230c55aff" timerange={timerange from="now-2d" to="now"} | render I think first applies the filtergroup from the time filter bar but then it is overwrited by the timerange property which can't be deleted. Thanks and sorry for bothering. ---

As long as the column is set correctly on your time range, this will work. For example: ```auto timefilterControl compact=true column="order_date" filterGroup="mygroup" | render ``` ```auto filters "mygroup" | savedVisualization id="4b3ec120-b892-11e8-a6d9-e546fe2bba5f" timerange={timerange from="now-7d" to="now"} | render ``` This works as expected. ---

Works with @timestamp ? Because the x-axis of my Visualization is based on that and I have the same as you but: column="@timestamp" which makes sense for me, but still not getting the expected result. ---

If you change your time range in your filter, the results of the visualization should change- for example, you can choose non-overlapping time ranges and see no results. This is the easiest way to verify. ---
