Show All dialog box

If your Visual Insight (VI) dashboard contains more than one dataset, you can add data to a visualization, create metrics, filter data, group data, and so on using dataset objects belonging to different datasets. You can select dataset objects from each dataset in the VI dashboard using the Show All dialog box. For example, when creating a Graph visualization, you can quickly add attributes and metrics from several different datasets to the graph at the same time.

The Show All dialog box contains a list of each dataset in the VI dashboard. You can expand or collapse a list of all available dataset objects in a dataset by clicking the arrow displayed to the left of the dataset's name. The dataset objects displayed in the list can vary based on the task you are performing. For example, attributes are used to group the rectangles in a Heat Map visualization. If you are selecting the attribute to use to group rectangles in a Heat Map visualization, attributes are displayed in the dialog box.

In the Show All dialog box, select a dataset object. Depending on the task that you are performing, you may be able to make multiple selections.

If you are adding dataset objects to a visualization, you can define the main dataset to use to display data in the visualization (called the grid source). By default, the name of the grid source is highlighted and displayed at the top of the dialog box, with an icon displayed next to its name. To define the grid source, do one of the following:

To define a dataset as the grid source, hover over the name of the dataset to use as the grid source, then click the Use As the Primary Source of Data icon . The name of the dataset is highlighted and an icon is displayed next to its name to signify that it is defined as the grid source.
To define the visualization as having no grid source, if a dataset has the This is the Primary Source of Data icon displayed next to its name, click the icon. The icon disappears from the list of datasets and the visualization is defined as having no grid source.

For background information, example images, and detailed steps to define the grid source for a visualization, see Defining the main dataset to use to display data in a visualization.

When finished, click OK to apply your changes.
