Analyzing Data in an Image Layout Visualization

An Image Layout visualization displays an image overlaid with colored areas or bubble markers. For example, an Image Layout visualization might display a map of the United States, with a bubble marker displayed over each state. A designer can define the visualization so that states with a high number of stores are displayed using large bubble markers, and states with a low number of stores are displayed using small bubble markers. As another example, a designer can display the layout of a store in the visualization, with each aisle shown as a separate region, then have XBRi automatically color each aisle based on the number of visits each aisle receives.

If you choose to filter on a visualization, filter conditions are automatically added to the visualization's local filter to customize your view. Because each visualization has its own separate local filter, these filter conditions are only used to filter the display of data in the selected visualization, and do not affect any other visualizations in the quick dashboard. You can remove these filter conditions to undo your changes. Steps are below to filter data or undo your filtering changes.

Prerequisites

You must have Edit Dashboard and Run Dashboard privileges.
The procedures below assume that the visualization in which you want to analyze data has already been created.

To filter data in an Image Layout visualization

Click the name of the quick dashboard to run it.
Select one or more elements in the visualization by doing one of the following:
- To select individual elements, hover the cursor over an element in the visualization. You can select multiple elements in the visualization by pressing CTRL, then clicking additional elements to select them. Click the arrow icon at the top of the selected elements.
- To select all the elements in a rectangle shape, click and drag over an area of the visualization to choose all the elements in the area. Click the arrow icon at the top of the selected elements.
From the context menu, select one of the following:
- To display only the elements you have selected and remove all other elements from the visualization, select Keep Only.
- To display all elements in the visualization except the elements you have selected, select Exclude.

To undo filtering on data

Hover the cursor over the visualization in which you want to undo filtering, then click the arrow icon in the top right. A list of options is displayed.
Point to Edit Filter, then do one of the following:
- To remove all filter conditions from the visualization at once, select Clear All. All filter conditions in the local filter are removed, and are no longer used to filter data in the visualization.
- To remove filter conditions one at a time, hover the cursor over each filter condition you want to remove, then click the x icon next to each condition. The filter conditions you delete are no longer used to filter data in the visualization.
