DropDown Filter

DropDown Filters allows the User to set a single Dashboard Parameter by selecting the value from the list presented in the DropDown. The values of the DropDown have to be provided by a Data Query.

• Label - Text shown above the drop down.
• Label icon - Icon giving a visual identification to the drop down
