This is the ninth step of creating your own report with the Reporting module.

In this section, you will learn how to add a filter to your dashboard. Specifically, we will create a filter that allows us to look at those flights that depart from a particular country.

1. Create a filter box visualization as any other visualization:
   1. Select **New** > **Chart** and then *tutorial\_flights* as the datasource and **Filter Box** as the visualization type.
2. Set the time filters:
   1. First of all, in the **Time** section, remove the filter from the **Time Range** selection by selecting **No** filter**.**
3. Define the **Filters Configurations:**
   1. First, **Filters Configurations** section, add a new filter by selecting the plus sign and then edit the newly created filter by selecting the pencil icon.
   2. For our use case, it makes most sense to present a list of countries in alphabetical order. First, enter the column as **Origin Country** and keep all other options the same and then select **Run Query**. This gives us a preview of our filter.
   3. Next, remove the date filter by unchecking the **Date Filter** checkbox.
4. Finally, select **Save**, name the chart as *Tutorial Filter*, add the chart to our existing Tutorial Dashboard and then **Save & go to dashboard**. Once on the Dashboard, try using the filter to show only those flights that departed from the United Kingdom – you will see the filter is applied to all of the other visualizations on the dashboard.
