Manage card visibility in your dashboard
You can use hidden dashboard cards to serve as backend queries for the entire dashboard, providing prep work, shared Datasets, and parameter sources that the visible cards depend on, without cluttering the dashboard layout.
The query in hidden dashboard cards still executes, and still counts against your dashboard credits allowance.
Perform the following steps to hide a card in your dashboard:
- Edit a dashboard
- Click the vertical ellipsis icon () for the card you want to hide.
- Click Hide card.
When you have hidden cards, a hidden cards panel appears in your dashboard. Click Manage in the hidden cards panel to edit, show, delete, and view dependencies for those hidden cards. The manager tracks dependencies: a hidden query may power other visible cards, or feed dropdown parameters (SingleSelect / MultiSelect sourced from a stage).
In this example, we have a dashboard showing user events. The goal is to be able to filter by cluster and customer, where customer is a subset of cluster. This means that when a specific cluster is selected, only customers within that cluster are listed in the Customer dropdown:

To set this up, the hidden card contains cluster and customer as fields:
The cluster parameter k8s.cluster.name is bound to clusterName column in the hidden card, and the Customer column in the hidden card powers the Customer dashboard parameter.
Back on the dashboard, we can select a cluster and then a customer in that cluster to filter the visible dashboard card:
