Filter Controls
Dashboard filter controls can be used to refine or subset the data shown in the dashboard. For example, you can exclude data from a region in a dataset or select a certain date range.

Filter controls are located at the top of the dashboard. Filter controls can be different on different tabs. The following filter controls are applied to the Feature Usage Dashboard:
Activity Date (from - to): Activity date is the date on which the activity happened (‘activities’ include visits, job search, submit application, etc.). ‘Activity date From - To’ filter controls the date range of all charts on the tab.
Breakdown Variable: For some tables on the dashboard, the aggregation variable (the first column in the table) can be changed based on the ‘Table Breakdown Variable’ filter control selection.
Business Unit: Business unit refers to the business units associated with the position: sales, engineering, finance, etc. The values vary for different companies.
Location Country
Location country refers to the country associated with the position and not the location of the applicant (for example, if an applicant living in the US applied for a position in Canada, the position location country is Canada).
This filter control will filter for the positions in the selected country.
Job function: Job function refers to the job function associated with the position: account management, customer service, etc. The values vary for different companies

Difference between "Onboarded Users Logged In" and "Users Onboarded over time" metrics in TM Dashboard
The difference between these two metrics of the TM usage standard dashboard are:
-
Onboarded Users Logged In - The number of users that are onboarded and have logged in during the period reviewed (The minimum represents the number of users onboarded during the specified period. However, this number can increase if users who were onboarded prior to the review period have logged in during that time)

-
Users Onboarded over time - This is the number of onboarded users during each week since go live.
