Currently, applying filters is a clunky way to interact with dashboards and especially difficult if using text based values. I would like to design the filtering interface by dashboard to display applied filters and make it easier for users. I've pushed exec dashboards to a separate BI tools previously when GS dashboards didn't have global filters. (May still push to a BI tool). See the example from a Tableau dashboard:

 



Filtering sections can be labeled, multiselect and picklist options visible, radio buttons for "on/off", etc.



A nice to have: Control over display labels for filter criteria since some CRM data can be kinda unclear or need to be consolidated and mapped to a single value. Say for example, we change our definitions/values for Tier within the same field or used a separate field previously, I'd like to map these values to a single field for display on the dashboard. I suppose this a separate request? I can file one for that too.
