Expanded Search Options for Managing and Adding Visuals

More search and select options are available when you add an existing Visual Gallery visual to your dashboards. Expanded search options means you can:

• Search for visuals by Type, Name, Description, Data Source, Tags, or Author.
• Narrow the visuals shown or returned in search by selecting a filter option: All, Favorites, My Items, or Shared with Me.
• If you search by tags, type, or data source, you can include multiple items in your search, returning all visuals that include at least one matching result.

See Search Box for more information.

Use the analytics capabilities of Damstra Insights to generate descriptions of your visuals to dashboards with a few simple selections.

Quickly insert a visual description in a rich text snippet widget that summarizes the data shown in your visual. You can add multiple visual descriptions in individual widgets or combine multiple visual descriptions in one or more widgets.

Edit the snippet to change the format, edit the contents of the generated description, edit description variables, insert images, links, and more.

Table visuals now support the inclusion of links to URLs or images in a table column. Select the option Format {field name} as URL to include a link to a URL or image by adding a URL with an interpolated value, such as http://www.website.com/${value}

If you link to a URL, the destination URL opens in a new browser tab when the user selects the field.

If you link to an image, the interpolated image is shown in the table cell. Define height and width of the image as needed.

Clear the image or URL by selecting the None option in the Format as URL work area.

We've expanded the use of content tags in Damstra Insights. Standard Visuals can be tagged and use them to sort and organize content as you do with tags for dashboards.

Box plot visuals can now include groups and subgroups: add a subgroup to expand the depth of the information you provide in this visual type.

Use the new visual type, Sunburst, to display hierarchical data in a circle format. Display up to three levels of data, starting with the topmost hierarchical data in the centre of the sunburst, with the secondary and tertiary levels shown in levels further from the centre.

A new feature, Show Other, allows you show or hide data in several visual types normally hidden when you define a limit for your data.

For example, enable Show Other for a pie chart of data sorted into twenty five counties, with a Limit of ten. Eleven slices are shown: the fifteen other counties are grouped as a single slice, comprising the remaining data succinctly. Disable Show Other in the sidebar menu, or by selecting Remove from the context menu of that data point.

This feature is available in the Sort & Limit sidebar menu of several visuals:

• Bar charts
• Donut (single group)
• Pie (single group)
• Packed bubbles
• Scatter plot
• Tree map
• Heatmap (single group)
