### Native Filters
As Filter Box is set to be deprecated, this section will instruct you on how to use its replacement,
**Native Filters**. These are built into the dashboard view itself. Go to the Tutorial Dashboard and
select the filter icon in the top left corner:

This will open the Native Filters panel, which is currently empty:

Click on the pencil icon to open up the **Filters Configuration** modal. From here, you can create new filters or
manage existing ones.

We're going to create a numerical range for ticket cost:
- Select Numerical Range from the Filter Type dropdown
- Give the filter a name
- Select tutorial_flights from the Dataset dropdown if it's not been selected yet
- Select Cost from the Column dropdown
Click the **Save** button. Your filter will load in the panel.

You can adjust the slider to only include datapoints that fall within the selected range for Ticket
Cost! Set your range and click **Apply** to see how it affects your charts.
We can also recreate the Origin Country filter from the Filter Box section. In the **Filters
Configuration** modal, click the Add button in the bottom left and select Filter. Set your filter up as
follows:
- Select Value from Filter Type dropdown
- Select tutorial_flights from Dataset dropdown
- Select Origin Country from Column dropdown
- In Advanced, you can tick the Sort filter values checkbox to list country names alphabetically
**Save** your filters! You can now select origin countries to include from the resulting dropdown.
