# Using HierarchyFilter

There are plenty of features once you have configured your HierarchyFilter that can help you get the most value in your Dashboards.

#### Traversing the hierarchy

Once you have configured your HierarchyFilter you will see your chosen Dimensions in the tree. You can open items in the tree by clicking the ">" button. This will show all children of the opened item.
