Dashboards — Click a chart to filter the whole board

Click a bar or a point on a dashboard chart — Won, say — and every other tile reading that same table narrows to the records behind it. Total value, the breakdown by month, the table of recent rows: all about Won deals until you clear it. Click the same bar again, press Escape, or use the × on the bar that appears at the top of the board. Nothing is saved. A selection is an exploration, not configuration, so it never rides the URL and the next person to open the dashboard never inherits yours. The chart you clicked keeps all of its bars, with the one you chose picked out and the rest faded — that's what lets you move the selection somewhere else without starting again. Every other tile says whether the filter reached it, and the ones it couldn't reach say why: an activity feed is a log of edits rather than a total, a tile built on a saved report carries that report's own filters, and another table's records aren't what “Stage is Won” is about. The bar at the top counts them — “6 of 8 tiles narrowed” — and names the exceptions one by one. View records on that bar lists the records behind the selection.
