How the filters apply
Not all the filters shown are valid for all the indicators in the widget:
- The indicators are grouped by license type. The indicators on the first line of the widget (object creations, object updates, object deletions and link creations) only match the activity of Stewards and Explorers. Therefore, if a Reader filter is applied, the first line of the widget disappears.
- The Searches indicator is not impacted by the filters on the module and object type.
Filters on roles and services refer to those defined in the user profile.
The filter on teams refers to the teams created in the client space administration. Only the activity of public teams can be followed.
