Visualizing Data


Video: How to Add Static Filters to Your Content

Filters allow you to limit the data that displays in your content to show only the information that is important or relevant to you.  You can create prompted filters, whose values can be selected at run-time, and static filters, which always apply the same value, allowing you to set consistent filter values to your content.
To create a static filter, drag the field that you want to select filter values for to the Filters bucket. You can filter for any field in your data, regardless of whether or not it is used in your content.

Video: How to Use Dynamic Grouping for Dimension Field Values

Dynamic grouping allows you to group related dimension values in your data into useful categories.
If your data includes values that it might be useful to combine, you can add them all to a group in a new grouped field. For example, the data in this pie chart might make more sense if the subregions in the United States were grouped together.  By grouping your data into useful categories, it becomes more manageable, better organized, and ultimately, more useful.
