Data Tab
The data tab is used to configure the visualization type and aggregations shown on the data panel. Choose between the different visualizations we offer below, select which fields to display, and set any data filters.
Shared Data Tab Options Across Chart Types
The following are shared section across most charts. For a full list of data options for a specific chart, navigate to the page for that chart type.
Chart Type
This section contains the variations of each chart type, and from here, you can change the chart type of the current chart that is being editted. For example, if in the dashboard edit mode you pull a bar chart onto the dashboard, this section of the data tab will allow you to select a specific type of bar chart, grouped, horizontal, etc.
When swapping between chart types, if the data configuration is compatible with the new chart type, the data configuration will be transfered. Otherwise, it will be cleared, and the chart will need to be built again from scratch.
For tables (data, pivot, and collapsible list), it is not possible to switch chart types, so this section will not appear on the data tab.
Filter
This section allows for filtering a single chart. In this section, you select a column from the dataset that you would
like to filter the chart on, as well as an operator and a value to compare against the column.
The operator type will depend on the type of selected column, e.g. numerical column will allow operators such as >, <, etc. The value section
can be a manual input, such as a hardcoded string or number, or it can take in a variable input, such as a field from a dropdown on the dashboard.
The variable input option will only be enabled if there is a UI element on the dashboard that has a compatible type.
