#### Tips

If there are multiple choices, it's good to think about how you and your team will use the dashboard.

For example, let's say you have a *user activity* table. You could filter it by the *user creation date* to get a sense of all activity in the last 30 days.

You could also pick the *user creation date* to see how users created in the last 30 days are behaving.
