We are creating a dashboard with different graphs built with wpdatatble and power filters.
We need to put some generic filters at the top of the dashboard so that all the graphs below and tables fit the generic filters.
We don't know how we can do this with the wpdata tables and powerfilter modules or if a new one is needed.
Can you help us with this?
Thanks in advanced

Sorry to disappoint you, but we don't have a current working solution for that use-case.
It is not possible with our built-in features to configure one set of filters on top which can 'affect' multiple tables and charts on the same Page.
At the moment, each table can only have its own set of filters. You can set them to show above the table like "Filters in a Form" in the filter settings;
And there is a workaround for each chart - if you wish to hide the table and just show the filters with the Chart;
but that is also only possible for each Table and its connected chart 1 by 1;
We don't have a way to set one 'filters in a Form' which will 'affect' multiple tables and/or charts.
You can suggest it to our developers, though - they will do their best to make a solution in the future.
to see if someone may be already suggested this feature. If you can't see it, feel free to add your suggestion there, and as more people vote, the feature will move higher on the priority list.
You can certainly follow our changeLog page if you'd like ( it is also available in the plugin dashboard), where we state any changes/new features/bug fixes during updates;
and our newsletter, so you're informed about new features, bug fixes, freebies, etc.
If you have coding skills and wish to try to make a custom solution now,

If you have coding skills and wish to try to make a custom solution now,
you can check out our available hooks for Developers on this documentation and see if you can find any hook that might help.
We also added this new developer's handbook, which can allow users with coding skills to make custom add-ons.
Our developers will keep adding more custom hooks/examples there over time.
Please be advised that custom solutions with hooks are not included in our support.
You can also research resources such as Stack Overflow to see if any other user perhaps found a workaround.
( We do like to give examples for certain solutions, but for this use-case, we, unfortunately, don't have anything yet)
Kind Regards,
Miloš Jovanović
