How do Quick Filters work with existing widget level filters

  • Quick filters and widget filters work together using AND logic. This means a quick filter does not override a widget-level filter—it adds to it.

  • To avoid incorrect or missing data, use widget filters for widget-specific needs and quick filters for broader, team-wide filtering.

    Example:
    If you set:

    • Widget filter: Appointment status = Confirmed

    • Quick filter: Appointment status = Cancelled

      The system will try to show appointments where the status is both Confirmed AND Cancelled—which is not possible, resulting in no data.
      ✅ Best Practice: Use quick filters for flexible filtering across the team and avoid duplicating similar filters at the widget level
