Cloudera Data Visualization, Visuals interface

The VISUALS interface provides you with visualization features. You can initiate a number of operations when working with visuals.

The VISUALS interface of Data Visualization has the following main parts:
  1. Visuals top menu bar
  2. Visuals side menu bar
  3. Visuals preview area

Visuals top menu bar

  1. The NEW DASHBOARD button allows you to start a new dashboard.

  2. The NEW APP button allows you to start a new application.

  3. The MOVE TO WORKSPACE button helps you to move selected items to a new workspace.
  4. The EXPORT button helps you to export visual artifacts to your default download folder.
  5. The DELETE button deletes the selected items.

Visuals side menu bar

  1. You can access standard groupings of visual artifacts by clicking All or My Favorites.

  2. You can create a workspace by clicking the plus sign next to WORKSPACES.

  3. Under WORKSPACES, you can see the default workspaces that are available: Private and Public. If you create a custom workspace, it is added to this side menu bar under Private. The number next to each workspace shows you how many dashboards are available in the workspace.

  4. The Sample Dashboards button gives you access to examples available in CDP Data Visualization.

Visuals preview area

  1. These buttons allow you to switch between displaying dashboards, visuals, apps, or all visual artifacts in the preview area.

  2. These two icons allow you to switch between Grid View and List View. Grid View shows you thumbnail previews of your visuals, dashboards, and applications, while List View presents the same items vertically arranged as a single, continuous, multiple-line list.

  3. You can also click the (pencil/edit) at the end of the row if you want to edit a visual artifact.

  4. You can select visuals, dashboards, and apps if you mark the check box that corresponds to the item.

  5. You can delete a single visual artifact by clicking the (trash/delete) icon at the end of the row that corresponds to it.
