Pinned selections
You can use pinned selections to apply a default filter for all users. Selections are pinned in Studio and published to Apps by the analyst. The pinned selections will then be present every time the analysis is opened in Apps, and cannot be unpinned or changed by the business user.
In Studio
To pin selections, make sure you have permission to edit the analysis in Studio.
Pinned selections in the analysis draft are indicated by an icon 
on the left of the chip.

You must publish your package for your pinned selections to appear in Apps. Note that if the analysis already has previously published pinned selections, they will be overwritten by the new pinned selections.

Questions
When should I use pinned selections?
You can use pinned selections to show only data relevant to the end users of an analysis by default. As opposed to load scripts, pinned selections show you what filter is being applied and still allow you to access the filtered out data.
Note
Crop selections cannot be pinned. Use a CALC_CROP filter statement in the load script instead.
Are pinned selections saved in bookmarks?
Only whether the pinned selection is enabled or disabled is saved in the bookmark, i.e. if you bookmark a disabled selection, loading the bookmark will cause that selection to become disabled. However, the selection itself is NOT saved in the bookmark, i.e. if you bookmark a pinned selection and later that selection is no longer pinned, loading the bookmark will not bring it back. This is to prevent business users from bringing back obsolete or conflicting filters after the analyst has made updates to pinned selections.
What happens to my pinned selections when I copy, move or duplicate my analysis?
Pinned selections are copied with the analysis.
