Yes.
Adding always_filter
to an existing explore
definition adds the set of filters with the default values to any Looks, Explores, or dashboard tiles based on that explore
, including previously saved Looks and dashboard tiles that are based on the explore
.
What this means is:
You can have a LookML filter for California Usersexplore: users {
label: "users_california"
always_filter: {
filters: {
field: state
value: "California" } }}
But, if you have a filter for "Texas" in the dashboard it will change to a "Texas" Filter.
Fun Fact, Exploring from Tile will have "Texas" filter, editing tile will have "California" Filter
