Enable Filtering by Approval Status on Built-In Dashboards

Currently, the ability to include only data sourced from Approved records in dashboard metrics and visuals is limited to PowerReports.  Built-in dashboards, such as the Consumption Analysis dashboard, always include both Approved and Unapproved data, with no option to filter.

Please add an option to the Filter window.  It can be as simple as a checkbox (Include only Approved Data), but would ideally be expanded to a set of checkboxes or a multi-select dropdown field that includes all approval statuses.

It is already possible to differentiate between data from Approved records and other data, because this functionality is currently available within the Monthly Dataset PowerReport.
