Hi @Anupama2262 thank you for your request. Please see the answers below. For the first issue, you can turn on the Advanced Setting "Ignore Filter(s)" from Stack Management. In the future, it should work out-of-the-box when we do this [[Dashboard] Filter only the relevant panels · Issue #170395 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/170395). We are also planning to allow users to filter only a subset of selected panels in the dashboard in the long-term. For the second problem, unfortunately there is no workaround as of now, in the future we will allow users to define filters for the values shown in their controls. You can follow the public issue here [[Controls] Individually Pre-Filter Available Results · Issue #140112 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/140112). I hope this answers your question, please let us know if you have any other requests. ---

Hi @Anupama2262 we are developing a solution to associate controls to individual visualizations now and we would love to get your feedback. Is it possible that we schedule a call with you? ---

To me ES|QL controls sounds very close to what you are looking for: [ES|QL Controls implementation · Issue #203967 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/203967) Potentially you could create one variable per query, and one query per visualization to have a finer control. ---

Thanks for your reply. Could you point me to an example that I can build on? Thanks
