Clear ALL slicers on a page with one click, perhaps an addition to a slicer for a clear all slicers button or perhaps a custom visualization that is a button to press to clear all slicers.

RE: Clear all slicers
Hi,It would be really, really, really appreciated if the planned action button will work in the dashboard, too. Clear all filters button (with bookmarks) can be added to the reports, but this button does not work in a dashboard. Or am I missing something???
RE: Clear all slicers
It's done, nice, and of course is a good improvement, but not perfect, as it only clears the slicers (I know, is in the name) but it doesn't reset the user selections made in the visuals and you know a dashboard is usually full interactive (or even you can use a visual as a filter). I would like a button that reset every filter to set the page at the initial state. I'm afraid I still need to use bookmarks
RE: Clear all slicers
Clearing all filters/slicers on all pages of a report seems like a really logical requirement. If we are going to get users to interact with the data, we need to know that they are not going to be confused or concerned there is an error when the "clear all" button clears slicers only on that page and if they look at another page, they aren't seeing the same dataset.
RE: Clear all slicers
This would also be nice included in the filter pane.
RE: Clear all slicers
The trouble with using bookmarks is:If new slicers are added to the page, these are not added to the bookmark, so it's easy to get a partially working buttonThere's no way to review bookmarks to see what they affect, so it's hard to check if the bookmark is correct.One detail here, there is a page I would use this on, but it also has a hidden *sync* slicer. Users would expect a "clear all selection" button to clear the page slicers, but leave the sync slicer alone.

The reset to default button in the web is very handy, functionality like that could be helpful in Desktop.
RE: Clear all slicers

RE: Clear all slicers

RE: Clear all slicers
I used bookmarks to clear all slicers on a page, but if you use the SEARCH in a drop-down or list filter. You have to manually remove your entry in the search area.
Seems like an easy fix.
RE: Clear all slicers
As a workaround, we train users to click on on the "Reset to default" option in the web service or mobile app. Since it's part of the interface, it also frees up some space & reduces clutter on the canvas.
