Hi,

I have built a dashboard. can I enforce a method, where the data is shown only after at least one filter is selected and by default the entire dashboard should be empty?

There is sort of a roundabout way of doing that: you can change the default time interval from the default 15 minutes to an interval where you know there is no data. Then when somebody selects another time filter you will get data.
