Interactive filters & drill-down in real time
Let your users play with the data: global filters, chart filters and benchmark dropdowns update in real time — with no reload. With drill-down they move from the overview into any detail.
DataLion dashboards respond in real time: global filters, chart filters and benchmark dropdowns update every affected chart instantly — with no full-page reload. Benchmark filters render each selected value as its own column or row, and custom segments can be built and saved directly in the dashboard.

Filters apply instantly — across the whole page
When a user sets a filter, the dashboard responds in real time: global filters, individual chart filters and benchmark dropdowns update every affected chart at once — without reloading the whole page.
By default a dynamic filter affects all charts on a dashboard. Need exceptions? Define them per chart — so a single diagram stays untouched while the rest filter along.
- Global filters for the whole dashboard
- Filters apply in real time, no page reload
- Per-chart filter menus and exceptions
- Optionally carry the selection across a report’s dashboards
Benchmark dropdowns: each group as its own column
A benchmark filter doesn't filter the data down — it sets it side by side: each selected value appears as its own column or row, one bar for "60+", one for "40–59", right next to each other.
Multi-select, by contrast, combines the values into one shared group via OR. So for each filter you decide whether your users segment, compare or build groups.
- Benchmark: each selection as a separate column/row
- Multi-select: values combined into one group via OR
- Single select: filter the data down to one value
- Cap the number of selectable options per filter
Define filters and segments yourself
In the filter editor you create filters by click and refine them via JSON. You build custom segments and target groups — such as "18–35" or "high-school diploma" — by combining values into new categories with AND/OR.
Self-built filters appear as their own dropdown to choose from, a reset button clears everything, and you set a default value per filter or — e.g. for "current year" — project-wide in the codebook, so every new wave fits automatically.

- Custom segments via AND/OR into new categories
- Offer saved filters as their own dropdown
- Default values per filter or project-wide in the codebook
Drill-down — and self-explanatory dashboards
With drill-down your users click from the overall result down to a single group — without you building a separate dashboard for every question. That makes a dashboard self-explanatory: everyone finds their own answer.
Who can see and filter what is governed by roles & permissions and access profiles. It is all built in the drag-and-drop builder and styled with design & themes.
