Groups

By default, all elements on the dashboard are related to each other, which means that data filtering of one element affects the data filtering of other elements. However, when designing a dashboard, it is possible to split the elements of the dashboard into groups. For example, you want to display statistics for two unrelated companies in one dashboard. In this case, the elements of the dashboard should be split into groups, where the first group is one company and the second group is another company.

The belonging of an element to a group can be determined using the Group property. By default, this property is empty for an element, and it does not belong to any group. The group of elements in the dashboard is a set of elements for which the value of the Group property matches.
