Hi Ahmed,
I'll give you an example from a Territory Management use-case. If I have a dashboard that shows all territories (which could be an overwhelmingly large dashboard), I may want to have the ability to filter to only show territories within a certain industry within the dashboard, which wouldn't be part of the actual territory hierarchy.
Here's the configuration I would use to enable that filter. I would have a module called Territories and a module called Filter Drivers. In my Filter Drivers module I would have a user-entered line item called Industry, which would be based on the Industry list. I would publish that line item on the dashboard with my all my Territories.
In my Territories module, I would have a line item called Industry, based on the Industry list. I would also have a boolean-formatted line item called Industry Filter, with the following formula: Industry = Filter Drivers.Industry
Then on my Territories dashboard, I would filter any displayed modules where Territories.Industry Filter = TRUE. The result would be, on the Territories dashboard, if I select Healthcare from the Industry dropdown line item from the Filter Drivers module, only the Territories where Industry = Healthcare will be displayed on the dashboard.
You can make it as complicated or simple as you like from there (for example, a second boolean line iten in the Filter Drivers module to indicate whether or not to enable the filter, and updating the Territories.Industry Filter boolean accordingly), but this the basic structure.
Let me know if there's anything unclear here, happy to help as much as possible, hope that helps!
