Configure Faceting on Related Salesforce Objects

Surface trends between Salesforce objects with parent-child relationships in a single dashboard. For example, on a dashboard that’s set up to monitor Salesforce account records, you can track related opportunities and cases. To facet queries based on parent-child relationships in the dashboard designer, connect them using common fields between them.

Parent-child faceting between steps built on Salesforce objects is enabled by default on new dashboards.
