Unable to Turn Dimension into Drop-down Filter in Workspace Project

Avatar

Level 2

Hey folks,

I’m working on a Workspace project and trying to create those slick drop-down filters in the top filter bar (like Device Type, Marketing Channel, etc.). I’m dragging the dimension into the area that says “Drop a segment here (or any other component)”, but I don’t get the gear icon or the “Filter with drop-down” option.

Here’s what I’ve tried:

  • Dragged standard dimensions (e.g., Device Type, Countries) — not metrics or segments.
  • Made sure I’m not dropping into the panel body "Drop a segment here (or any other component)", only into the top filter bar.
  • Hovered to find the gear icon — no luck.
  • Checked my access — I have edit rights.

    Followed below steps:
    How to Create Dropdown Filters in Adobe Analytics Workspace:
    Open Your Workspace Project
    Go to your Adobe Analytics → Workspace → Open or create a project.
  • Drag a Dimension to the Drop Zone
    On the left-hand side, find the dimension you want to filter by (e.g., Marketing Channel, Device Type, Countries, etc.).
  • Drag it to the top area where it says “Drop a segment here (or any other component)” — this is the Filter bar.
  • Turn it into a Drop-down Filter
    Once the dimension is up there:
  • Click on the small gear icon ⚙️ (appears when you hover over it).
  • Select “Filter with drop-down” (this turns it into a friendly dropdown with multi-select).

Hi @PrernaGotra1 
If you hold shift on the keyboard when you drag the dimension to the top of the panel this will create the drop down for you.

Thanks,
