Intro

Slicer, Checkbox Selector, and Radio Button Selector cards display values from a selected DataSet column. When you add them to a Domo dashboard, dashboard viewers can select values to filter the other cards on the dashboard. With Radio Button Selector Cards, viewers can only filter on one value at a time; with Slicer and Checkbox Selector cards, they can filter on multiple values at once. For example, you could build a Slicer Card with names of U.S. states and add it to a dashboard. If you selected Texas and Oklahoma, all cards on the dashboard filter to only data for those states. Slicer, Checkbox Selector, and Radio Button Selector cards are types of Filter Cards. Filter Cards only work when Interaction Filters are turned on. If Interaction Filters are not turned on, selecting a filter opens the Details view for the card instead of applying the filter. Learn more about using Slicer, Checkbox Selector, and Radio Button Selector cards on a dashboard.
Note: To use a calculated field as the column in the Items field to power your Slicer, Checkbox Selector, or Radio Button Selector cards, you must share the calculated field to the DataSet.

You can also use Slicer, Radio Button, and Checkbox filters in a card Details view to filter data to a specific column value before applying a Drill Path. Slicer and Checkbox Selector cards are essentially the same. The only difference is that the filters in Slicer Cards are represented as pills, while filters in Checkbox Selector Cards use checkboxes.

Radio Button Selector Cards are similar to both of the above but use radio buttons instead of pills or checkboxes, meaning viewers can filter on only one value at a time.

Power Slicer, Checkbox Selector, and Radio Button Selector Cards

In Analyzer, Slicer, Checkbox Selector, and Radio Button Selector cards each require two columns/rows of data from your DataSet. One column/row contains the category values you want to use as filters. Drag this column/row to the Items field.

The other field is called Optional group by. Though this field is required to power up the card, in general, it doesn’t matter what column/row you drop here. If you need to aggregate the data, you can use this column/row to do so. For example, if the column/row with the filter names is duplicated in your DataSet, you can make the filter names unique by aggregating. Learn about choosing data columns.
