Using Filters

Using Filters

Filters are available in a more visible location on the left hand side of every dashboard. You can filter for a number of predefined groups of students such as by school, grade level, student language proficiencies and more. 

 

Each filter is a dropdown that allows you to select the specific student groups you would like to filter. You can make one or multiple selections. 

 

The filters will IMMEDIATELY be applied to the dashboard.

Filter Behaviors

School Year Filter

When the School Year filter is applied, additional years will appear on the metrics either as an additional bar, line or columns in a data table. See screenshots below.

 

 

 

Notes about how the School Year filter will behave:

Note 1: The School Year filter is a new filter in DataZone 3.0. It allows you to filter dashboard pages for historical data. However, there are a few metrics that will not adjust based on School year Filter. There are metrics that will only show the current year’s data. The metric title will “Current Year”.
