# Global Filters

Filters can not only be set for individual panels, but also for an entire dashboard. This feature is mainly used to change the time range or the selected organizations with just a few clicks.

The global time range can be changed using the date range picker at the top of the dashboard. All other global filters can be managed from the sidebar that appears when you click the “Filter” button:

![](/files/je4Ta1PYEcyvvH1sfXen)

The global time range and filters are saved as part of the dashboard and are available to all users with access to the dashboard.

Note that the global time range does not apply to *all* panels:

* Panels which do not specify a time dimension ignore the global time range. This is indicated by an orange clock icon next to the panel's title.
* Panels can explicitly override the global time range with a custom one. This is indicated by a blue clock icon next to the panel's title.
