Status sort button

The status sort button allows filtering values in ascending and descending directions based on the status field from the data source. Status fields with variable and status values should be specified.

Sort button allows to sort values by status field in both directions.

Minimized mode

The minimized mode is similar to the native select and works for Query and Custom variables.

Depending on the variable options user allow to select a single or multi-value in the multi-lines element.

Multi-line select element allows to select and deselect multiple values.

The variable panel allows updating dashboard variables without occupying valuable top space and placing it anywhere on the dashboard.

The Variable panel is an excellent alternative to the native implementation.

Input text box

We added a community-requested feature allowing input value for the Text box variables.

The input text box is supported in the Table and Minimize display modes. If you select the Table and enable the feature, the input can be sticky and follow users when scrolling the dashboard.

New input feature for the Text box variables.
