Say for example you have a document with two or more embedded views. Those views share a database. And you want to filter those views based on some user-defined arbitrary value(s). Is this possible in the current implementation of documents and filters? e.g., you could have a document that has a running summary of tickets in a software development team, and apply “where ticket.type = bug” filter which revises the total to be filtered to bugs only, and the list view to show only bugs ---

However, if you use a db with a rich text field to store your documents, you can apply context filters to views embedded views (but one at a time). Overall, it sounds like your use case > [@AdVhPkgKad](#): > > a document that has a running summary of tickets in a software development team sounds like it would be best solved by just configuring the collection field of Issues on the Team entity view, so that there is a relation view for ‘bugs-only’. ---

This is fine for the provided example and will work with defined and discrete options. What if I wanted to allow users to drill-down into any entity and show a dashboard related to that entity? For example, they could group the data by project and get a summary of moving parts, deliverables, analytics etc. from a single document? ---

Have you considered creating an entity view - with the relevant collection fields shown (and unnecessary fields hidden) - and for each collection field, you can choose the best relation view to display whatever you need. ---

That doesn’t let me embed charts, numbers, etc., and lay it out like a dashboard. There would be potentially multiple of the same link required just to get some sort of reporting to display, since each one of these would need to be a separate relationship to make them all display at once
