The Filter All data discovery mode lets you to define a visual in the dashboard as a 'source', so clicking on a specific element of the source controls the appearance of other visuals in the same dashboard. The source sends filter parameters to the target visuals, which they use to define the output. Keep in mind that any visual can be both a source and a target when passing filter parameters.

To discover data in View mode, you must first enable the context menu, as described in Displaying context menus in visuals.
