How to Use Visual Report Filters

December 8, 2024

Visual Report Filters in Jotform Visual Reports are powerful tools that allow you to customize and interact with your data in real time. These filters allow you to easily sort, group, and focus on specific insights without modifying the original dataset. Whether you’re analyzing submission trends or highlighting key information, Visual Filters make it simple to explore your data and present it in a clear, meaningful way.
