Question

Difficulty: EasyDashboard Design, Components, and Dynamic Filters

A Salesforce Administrator is configuring a customer support dashboard containing multiple components built from case reports. The administrator wants to add dashboard filters so managers can dynamically slice the displayed data by Case Origin and Case Priority.

Which two limits or requirements apply when configuring dashboard filters? (Select 2)

  1. A dashboard can have a maximum of 3 dashboard filters.Answer
  2. Each dashboard filter allows a maximum of 50 filter options (values).Answer
  3. C
    Applying a dashboard filter bypasses field-level security for users viewing the filtered components.
  4. D
    Up to 10 dashboard filters can be added if the running user is set to a System Administrator.

Answer

The two correct constraints are that a dashboard can have a maximum of 3 filters, and each filter supports up to 50 filter options (values).
In Salesforce Lightning Experience, a single dashboard can contain a maximum of 3 dashboard filters, and each filter supports up to 50 filter options (values). These limits ensure dashboard performance remains optimized across source reports.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Evaluate standard Salesforce Lightning dashboard governor limits regarding dynamic filters.
Identify that Salesforce restricts each dashboard to a maximum of 3 dashboard filters.
This platform constraint applies universally across all standard dashboard components.
2
Examine the capacity limits within an individual dashboard filter configuration.
Confirm that each filter can contain up to 50 options/values.
Administrators can specify up to 50 distinct filter criteria choices per filter.
3
Assess security and profile-based exceptions.
Determine that filter limits cannot be expanded by altering running user settings and filters do not bypass security.
Field-level security and sharing settings remain strictly enforced regardless of filter interactions.
