Prepare and use the dashboard

In this example, a new dashboard is created that displays both the source and the target visuals and filters are also used.

  1. Create a new dashboard, and add the three visuals to it.

    In this example, the source visual is resized so it occupies the left side of the dashboard, while the target visuals share the right side of the dashboard.

  2. Switch to View mode.
  3. Click one of the bars of the source visual (in this example, Oceania), and select the Filter All option.
    Filter All dashboard, filtering on un_region = Oceania

    Data Visualization refreshes the dashboard to show the target visuals that contain information about the selected un_region only. You can see the value of the filters on each visual when you hover the pointer over them, or the value of the dashboard parameters when you hover over the (filter) icon.

  4. To examine data outliers in one of the 'target' visuals, click on that element. In this example, we can check for more details in the Life Expectancy visual by investigating the drop reported for Turkey in 1915.
  5. Click that part of the line chart, and select Filter All.

    Data Visualization refreshes the dashboard to show the effect on the other visuals. For example, the Life Expectancy and GDP shows that the GDP per Capita in Turkey for 1915 was 1.52k.
