Configuring the Filter in the Dashboard Tree

How to:

The Tree Filter is enabled and displayed on the tree, by default, in the Business Intelligence Dashboard. The Filter option can be configured so that it can be hidden from the Business Intelligence Dashboard tree. This functionality can be set for specific views using the View Builder or set globally for all views by editing a variable setting in the bidconfig.xml file.
