Filter and Other Visualization Types

You can create visualizations that directly filter data to a workbook canvas and use a variety of other visualizations to help you make your data quickly come to life.

Visualization Type	Description
Dashboard Filter	Enables content authors to build filter bars directly on canvases so that content consumers can focus in on the data they're interested in. Content authors can format the filter to set display orientation (horizontal/vertical), add the Apply and Reset buttons, and turn wrap on or off. Dashboard filters are displayed in the Visualize canvas, Present canvas, and in presentation mode, and are available for date, measure, and attribute columns. See Filter Data Using a Dashboard Filter Visualization.
Language Narrative	Creates natural language descriptions of the attributes and measures in your dataset in the form of breakdown or trend.
List	Filters data directly to the workbook canvas as a list format visualization.
List Box	Filters data directly to the workbook canvas for some or all of the visualizations in a list box (drop down) format visualization.
Spacer	Adds spacers on the workbook canvas to provide filler space between visualizations.
Tag Cloud	Visualizes text data and is primarily used to conduct word-frequency analysis across tags and keywords.
Text Box	Provides a contained area for adding text to the workbook canvas.
Tile	Enables content authors to add one or more metrics to a tile visualization and specify the layout and positioning of labels and values for the primary and secondary measures. Note:A visualization tile grammar element is added automatically to the Grammar panel whenever a new visualization is created. This enables you to build and format composite card style visualizations for up to 3 measures.
Tile (Deprecated)	Focuses on a single piece of aggregate data using color, labels, and styles to show status. This visualization can only include one measure.
Timeline	Depicts a sequencial view of events or objects within a period of time.
