Choosing Data Sources

Before you can begin to explore data in a project, you must select a data source for that information. You can select subject areas, Oracle Applications, databases, or uploaded data files as your data sources.

If you installed the sample data, then you can immediately use the sample data as a data source. For example, if you want to explore product sales by region, you can select Sample Sales as the data source.
  1. In the Add Data Source dialog, select the appropriate subject area or data source containing the data that you want to visualize. This dialog opens automatically when you create a new project.
  2. Click Add to Project.

    Note:

    To add data sources to an existing project, right-click the Data Elements pane, and then click Add Data Source. When you add two or more data sources to a project, they must match. Sometimes the system matches them automatically, but sometimes you need to match them manually using the Source Diagram option. If the data sources don’t match, then the additional data sources you added aren’t displayed in the Data Elements pane, but are displayed in the Data Sources pane. See Blending Data That You Added.

Adding Data Elements to Visualizations

There are various ways that you can add data elements such as columns and calculations to your visualizations.

Topics:

Adding Data Elements to Drop Targets

After you select the data sources for your project, you can begin to add data elements such as measures and attributes to visualizations. A drop target is the visualization element (for example, Columns) onto which you can drop a compatible data element (for example, Category) from the data source.

Description of the illustration GUID-423B1D42-AB5E-4DB0-B9F3-23ADEE5B7CCB-default.gif

Here are some of the ways that you can add data elements to drop targets:

  • Drag and drop one or more data elements from the Data Elements pane to drop targets in the Explore pane.

    The data elements are automatically positioned in the best drop target in the Explore pane, and if necessary the visualization changes to optimize its layout.

    Description of GUID-B8056354-F36F-4DDC-9E09-B98B2660BBA2-print.eps follows
    Description of the illustration GUID-B8056354-F36F-4DDC-9E09-B98B2660BBA2-print.eps

  • Double-click data elements in the Data Elements pane to add them to the Explore pane.
  • Replace a data element in the Explore pane by dragging it from the Data Elements pane and dropping it over an existing data element already in the Explore pane.
  • Swap data elements in the Explore pane by dragging a data element already inside the pane and dropping it over another data element in the pane.
  • Remove a data element from the Explore pane by clicking the X in the data element token.

Adding Data Elements to Visualization Drop Targets

You can use visualization drop targets to help you position data elements in the optimal locations for exploring content.

  • When you drag and drop a data element over to a visualization (but not to a specific drop target), you'll see a blue outline around the recommended drop targets in the visualization. In addition, you can identify any valid drop target because you'll see a green plus sign icon appear next to your data element.

    Description of GUID-85F9FA40-4662-4C94-AB30-FEF44765839B-print.eps follows
    Description of the illustration GUID-85F9FA40-4662-4C94-AB30-FEF44765839B-print.eps

    Note:

    If you aren't sure where to drag and drop any data element, then drag and drop the data element anywhere over the visualization instead of to a specific drop target.

    After you drop data elements into visualization drop targets or when you move your cursor outside of the visualization, the drop targets disappear.

  • To display the drop targets again in the visualization, on the visualization toolbar, click Show Assignments. You can also do this to keep the visualization drop targets in place while you work.

Adding Data Elements to a Blank Canvas

You can add data elements directly from the Data Elements pane to a blank canvas.

Drag one or more data elements to the blank canvas or between visualizations on the canvas. A visualization is automatically created and the best visualization type and layout are selected. For example, if you add time and product attributes and a revenue measure to a blank canvas, the data elements are placed in the best locations and the Line visualization type is selected.

Note:

If there are visualizations already on the canvas, then you can drag and drop data elements between them.

Sorting Data in Visualizations

Sometimes you're working with a lot of data in visualizations. To optimize your view of that data, you need to sort it.

  1. In the Explore pane, click the data element you want to sort.
  2. Select Sort.
  3. Select a sort option such as A to Z or Low to High. The available sort options are based on the data element you’re sorting.

Adjusting the Canvas Layout

You can adjust the look and feel of visualizations on the canvas to make them more visually attractive. For example, you can create a visualization and then copy it to the canvas. You can then modify the data elements in the duplicated visualization, change the visualization type, and then resize it.

  • To delete a visualization from the canvas, right-click it and select Delete Visualization.
  • To rearrange a visualization on the canvas, drag and drop the visualization to the location (the space between visualizations) where you want it to go. The target drop area is displayed with a blue outline.
  • To resize a visualization, use your cursor to drag the edges to size it.
  • To copy a visualization on the canvas, right-click it and select Copy Visualization.
  • To paste a copied visualization on the canvas, right-click the canvas and select Paste Visualization.

Changing Visualization Types

You can change visualization types to maximize the graphical representation of the data you’re exploring.

The visualization type is automatically chosen based on the selected data elements. However, this is true when you create a new visualization by dragging data elements to a blank area on the canvas. After a visualization is created, dragging additional data elements to it won’t change the visualization type automatically.

  1. Select a visualization on the canvas, and on the visualization toolbar, click Change Visualization Type.

    Note:

    You can also add a new visualization to the canvas by dragging it from the Visualizations pane to the canvas.
    Description of GUID-CCBFC4D9-00D4-46E2-9F45-4C6F79B36009-default.jpg follows
    Description of the illustration GUID-CCBFC4D9-00D4-46E2-9F45-4C6F79B36009-default.jpg
  2. In the View Select dialog, select a visualization type. For example, change the visualization type from Bar to Stacked Bar.

    Note:

    You can choose any visualization type, but the visualization types that are highlighted in blue are the recommended ones based on the data elements you select and where they’re positioned on the canvas.
    Description of GUID-019614D7-6CDF-4DB2-BA64-49F85762DF75-default.gif follows
    Description of the illustration GUID-019614D7-6CDF-4DB2-BA64-49F85762DF75-default.gif
    When you change the visualization type, the data elements are moved to matching drop target names. If an equivalent drop target doesn’t exist for the new visualization type, then the data elements are moved to a drop target labeled Unused. You can then move them to the drop target you prefer.

Adjusting Visualization Properties

You generally don’t need to change visualization properties because the default selections cover most cases. You might want to make adjustments such as hiding the legend, changing axis labels, or adding a URL link.

  • On the active visualization toolbar, click Menu , and then select Properties to display the Properties dialog.
    The properties you can edit depend on the type of visualization you’re handling.
  • Adjust visualization properties:
    Properties Tab Description
    Analytics Add reference lines, trend lines, and bands to display at the minimum or maximum values of a measure included in the visualization.
    Axis Set horizontal and vertical value axis labels and start and end axis values.
    Edge Labels Show or hide row or column totals and wrap label text.
    General Format titles, position the legend, and customize descriptions.
    Action Add URLs or links to insights in Tile, Image, and Text Box visualizations.

    If you use Chrome for Windows or Android, the Description text field displays a Dictate button (microphone) that you can use to record the description via audio.
    Style Set the background and border color for Text visualizations.
    Values Specify data value display options including the aggregation method such as sum or average, and number formatting such as percent or currency.

Working With Color

This topic covers working with color in projects and visualizations.

Topics:

Applying Color to Projects

You can work with color to make visualizations appear more dynamic on the canvas. For example, you can color a series of measures (Sales and Costs) or a series of attribute values (2015 and 2016).

Visualizations also have a Color drop target that can contain a measure or set of attributes. When a measure is in color, continuous coloring is used, and the brightness of the measure color is based on the measure value. When attributes are in color, series coloring is used, and each attribute value in the series is assigned a color. By default, colors are auto-assigned based on the current palette, but series colors can also be customized.

To apply color to a project:
  • To apply color to the entire project, click the Canvas Settings button on the toolbar and then select Project Properties. Select the color series you want to use or create a new custom color palette.
    The colors are applied in a progression, with each measure colored uniquely. Each measure is allocated a color, and that color assignment stays in place while you work in the project.
  • To apply high contrast continuous coloring, click Canvas Settings on the project toolbar, then select Project Properties, then click the Auto link, and then select High Contrast.
    High contrast enables the optimal delineation of colors based on human eyesight. For example, you can use a measure to color data points with lighter or darker shades of a base color.
  • To create a custom palette, click Canvas Settings on the project toolbar, then select Project Properties, then click the Default link, and then select Add Palette. In the Add Palette dialog, set up the palette and activate it.
  • To reset all the colors to the project default, click Canvas Settings on the project toolbar, and then select Reset Colors. This overrides all the color management changes you’ve made so far.

    Note:

    You can also use the Undo and Redo buttons on the project toolbar to go back or forward a step and play with colors. For more information, see Undoing and Redoing Edits.

Setting Visualization Colors

You can work with color for specific visualizations on the canvas. Series and data point coloring are shared across all visualizations within a project, so if you change the series or data point color in one visualization, this can affect the colors in other visualizations.

To set color in visualizations:

Note:

Color management tools apply to all visualization types with the exception of Tile.

Undoing and Redoing Edits

You can quickly undo your last action and then redo it if you change your mind. For example, you can try a different visualization type when you don’t like the one you’ve just selected, or you can go back to where you were before you drilled into the data. These options are especially useful as you experiment with different visualizations.

On the project toolbar, click the Undo Last Edit or the Redo Last Edit button.

Description of GUID-045EA7D3-8FE6-4DD0-9910-AE08C73E859A-default.gif follows
Description of the illustration GUID-045EA7D3-8FE6-4DD0-9910-AE08C73E859A-default.gif

Reversing Visualization Edits

You can easily reverse changes you make in a project, as long as the project has not been saved since making the changes. For example, if you accidentally place data elements in the wrong drop targets in a visualization, and can easily undo your changes.

You can reverse edits in two ways:

  • To undo all edits that you made to a project since you last saved it, on the project toolbar click Canvas Settings and select Revert.

  • To undo the last edit you made to a project, on the project toolbar click Undo Last Edit. You can click Redo Last Edit to reapply the edit that you undid. You can only use these options if you have not saved the project since making the changes.

Refreshing Visualization Content

To see if newer data is available for your project, you can refresh the data source data and metadata.

  • On the project toolbar click Canvas Settings and select Refresh Data. This action clears the data cache and reruns queries that retrieve the latest data from the data sources. This data is then displayed on the canvas.

  • Click Canvas Settings on the project toolbar and select Refresh Metadata and Report.

    This action refreshes the data and any project metadata that has changed since you started working in it. For example, a column is added to the subject area used by the project. You use this menu to bring the new column into the project.

Exploring Data Using Filters

This topic describes how you use filters to explore your content.

Topics

About Filters and Filter Types

Filters reduce the amount of data shown in visualizations, canvases, and projects. The types of filters you can use are Range, List, Date, and Expression.

Filter types are automatically determined based on the data elements you choose as filters.

  • Range filters are generated for data elements that are number data types and that have an aggregation rule set to something other than none. Range filters are applied to data elements that are measures, and that limit data to a range of contiguous values, such as revenue of $100,000 to $500,000. Or you can create a range filter that excludes (as opposed to includes) a contiguous range of values. Such exclusive filters limit data to noncontiguous ranges (for example, revenue less than $100,000 or greater than $500,000). See Applying Range Filters.

  • List filters are applied to data elements that are text data types and number data types that aren’t aggregatable. See Applying List Filters.

  • Date filters use calendar controls to adjust time or date selections. You can either select a single contiguous range of dates, or you can use a date range filter to exclude dates within the specified range. See Applying Date Filters.

  • Expression filters let you define more complex filters using SQL expressions. See Building Expression Filters.

How Visualizations and Filters Interact

There are several ways to specify how visualizations and filters interact.

How Filters Interact

Note how filters are applied and interact:

  • Filter Bar: Any filters that are added to the filter bar are applied to all visualizations on all canvases in the project. These project-level filters are always applied first, before any filters you include on the visualizations.

  • Filter Bar with Limit Values Applied: If you add more than one filter to the filter bar, then by default the filters restrict each other based on the values that you select. For example, if you have filters for Product Category and Product Name, and if you set the Product Category filter to Furniture and Office Supplies, then the options in the Product Name filter value pick list is limited to the product names of furniture and office supplies. However, you can use the Limit Values option to remove or limit how the filters in the filter bar restrict each other.

  • Filters on Visualizations: Filters that you specify on an individual visualization are applied to that visualization after the filters on the filter bar are applied. If you select the Use as Filter option and select the data points that are being used as a filter in the visualization, then filters are generated in the other visualizations.

How Visualizations Interact

You use the Synchronize Visualizations setting to specify how the visualizations on your canvas interact. By default, visualizations are linked for automatic synchronization. You can deselect Synchronize Visualizations to unlink your visualizations and turn automatic synchronization off.

Description of GUID-6681C810-D795-409B-A449-451E74AAAF92-default.jpg follows
Description of the illustration GUID-6681C810-D795-409B-A449-451E74AAAF92-default.jpg

When Synchronize Visualizations is on (selected), then all filters on the filter bar and actions that produce filters (such as Drill, Keep Selected, Remove Selected) are applied to all visualizations on the canvas. For example, if you have a canvas with multiple visualizations and you drill into one of the visualizations, a corresponding filter is added to the filter bar and it affects all visualizations on the canvas. Note that any visualization-level filters are applied to only the visualization.

When Synchronize Visualizations is off (deselected), then analytic actions such as Drill or Keep Selected affect the visualization to which you applied the action. In this mode, the filters are displayed in a small gray filter bar within each visualization.

The analytic actions such as Drill, or Keep Selected affect only the visualization to which you applied the action.

There is an additional option, Use as Master, that is available from all visualizations’ context menu. If Use as Master is turned on for a given visualization, then that one becomes the master visualization for the canvas. This means that selecting data in the master applies a filter to all other visualizations on the canvas. Description of GUID-F104E81D-73A9-4196-85B2-C46DE8C77E48-default.jpg follows
Description of the illustration GUID-F104E81D-73A9-4196-85B2-C46DE8C77E48-default.jpg

About Automatically Applied Filters

By default, the filters in the filter bar and filter drop target are automatically applied. However, you can turn this behavior off if you want to manually apply the filters.

When the Auto-Apply Filters is selected in the filters bar’s settings, the selections you make in the filters bar or filters drop target are immediately applied to the visualizations. When Auto-Apply Filters is off (deselected), the selections you make in the filters bar or filters drop aren’t applied to the canvas until you click the Apply button in the list filter panel.

To turn off Auto-Apply, go to the filters bar, click Actions, and then select Auto-Apply Filters.

Description of the illustration GUID-34A253EB-B2F5-4C54-9D1B-BCDE6BB299D2-default.jpg

Creating Filters on a Project

You can add filters to limit the data that’s displayed in all the visualizations on all of the canvases in your project.

For example, you can add a filter so that all of the visualizations in the project show only data for the years 2012, 2013, and 2014.

There are several options that you can use to define how filters interact with each other. See How Visualizations and Filters Interact.

Any filters included on the canvas are applied before the filters chosen from an individual visualization.

  1. Go to the Data Elements pane and drag a data element to the filter bar.

  2. Set the filter values. How you set the values depends upon the data type that you’re filtering.

  3. (Optional) Click the Filters Bar Menu and select Auto Apply Filters to turn off the automatic apply. When you turn off the automatic apply, then each filter’s selection displays an Apply button that you must click to apply the filter to the visualizations on the canvas.

Moving Filter Panels

You can move filter panels from the filter bar to a different spot on the canvas.

When you expand filters in the filter bar, it can block your view of the visualization that you’re filtering. Moving the panels makes it easy to specify filter values without having to collapse and reopen the filter selector.

Applying Range Filters

You use Range filters for data elements that are number data types and that have an aggregation rule set to something other than none.

Range filters are applied to data elements that are measures. Range filters limit data to a range of contiguous values, such as revenue of $100,000 to $500,000. Or you can create a range filter that excludes (as opposed to includes) a contiguous range of values. Such exclusive filters limit data to two noncontiguous ranges (for example, revenue less than $100,000 or greater than $500,000).
  1. Click the filter to view the Range list.
  2. In the Range list, click By to view the Selections list.
    All members that are being filtered have check marks next to their names.
  3. Optionally, in the Selections list, for any selected member that you want to remove from the list of selections, click the member.
    The check mark disappears next to the previously selected member.
  4. Optionally, in the Selections list, for any non selected member that you want to add to the list of selections, click the member.
    A check mark appears next to the selected member.
  5. Optionally, set the range that you want to filter on by moving the sliders in the histogram. The default range is from minimum to maximum, but as you move the sliders, the Start field and End field adjust to the range you set.
  6. Click outside of the filter to close the filter panel.

Applying List Filters

List filters are applied to data elements that are text data types and non aggregatable number data types. After you add a list filter, you can change the selected members that it includes and excludes.

  1. Click the filter to view the Selections list.
  2. Optionally, to the left of the Selections list, use the Search field to find the members you want to add to the filter.
  3. Locate the member you want to include and click it to add it to the Selections list. You can locate members to include in two ways:
    • Scroll through the list of members.
    • Search for members. You can use the wildcards * and ? for searching.
  4. Optionally, in the Selections list, you can click a member to remove it from the list.
  5. Optionally, in the Selections list, you can click the eye icon next to a member to cause it to be filtered out but not removed from the selections list.
  6. Optionally, in the Selections list, you can click the actions icon at the top, and select Exclude Selections to exclude the members in the Selections list.
  7. Optionally, click Add All or Remove All at the bottom of the filter panel to add or remove all members to or from the Selections list at one time.
  8. Click outside of the filter panel to close it.
  9. Optionally, to clear the filter selections or remove all filters at one time, right-click in the filter bar, and then select Clear Filter Selections or Remove All Filters.
  10. Optionally, to remove a single filter, right-click the filter in the filter bar, and then select Remove Filter.

Applying Date Filters

Date filters use calendar controls to adjust time or date selections. You can select a single contiguous range of dates, or use a date range filter to exclude dates within the specified range.

  1. Click the filter to view the Calendar Date list.
  2. In Start, select the date that begins the range that you want to filter.
    Use the Previous arrow and Next arrow to move backward or forward in time, or use the drop-down lists to change the month or year.
  3. In End, select the date that ends the range that you want to filter.
  4. Optionally, to start over and select new dates, in the filter, click Action and then select Clear Filter Selections.
  5. Click outside of the filter to close the filter panel.

Building Expression Filters

Using expression filters, you can define more complex filters using SQL expressions. Expression filters can reference zero or more data elements.

For example, you can create the expression filter "Sample Sales"."Base Facts"."Revenue" < "Sample Sales"."Base Facts"."Target Revenue". After applying the filter, you see only the items that didn’t achieve their target revenue.

You build expressions using the Expression Builder. You can drag and drop data elements to the Expression Builder and then choose operators to apply. Expressions are validated for you before you apply them. See About Composing Expressions.

  1. On the filter bar, click Action and then select Add Expression Filter.
  2. In the Expression Filter panel, compose an expression.
  3. In the Label field, give the expression a name.
  4. Click Validate to check if the syntax is correct.
  5. When the expression filter is valid, then click Apply. The expression is applied to the visualizations on the canvas.

Exploring Data in Other Ways

While adding filters to visualizations helps you narrow your focus on certain aspects of your data, you can take a variety of other analytic actions to explore your data (for example, drilling, sorting, and selecting). When you take any of these analytic actions, the filters are automatically applied for you.

Here are some of the analytic actions that you can take when you right-click content in visualizations:

  • Use Sort to sort attributes in a visualization, such as product names from A to Z. If you’re working with a table view, then the system always sorts the left column first. In some cases where specific values display in the left column, you can’t sort the center column. For example, if the left column is Product and the center column is Product Type, then you can’t sort the Product Type column. To work around this issue, swap the positions of the columns and try to sort again.
  • Use Drill to drill to a data element, and drill through hierarchies in data elements, such as drilling to weeks within a quarter. You can also drill asymmetrically using multiple data elements. For example, you can select two separate year members that are columns in a pivot table, and drill into those members to see the details.
  • Use Drill to [Attribute Name] to directly drill to a specific attribute within a visualization.
  • Use Keep Selected to keep only the selected members and remove all others from the visualization and its linked visualizations. For example, you can keep the sales that are generated by a specific sales associate.
  • Use Remove Selected to remove selected members from the visualization and its linked visualizations. For example, you can remove the Eastern and Western regions from the selection.
  • Use Add Reference Line or Band to add a reference line to highlight an important fact depicted in the visualization, such as a minimum or maximum value. For example, you might add a reference line across the visualization at the height of the maximum Revenue amount. You also might add a reference band to more clearly depict where the minimum and maximum Revenue amounts fall on the Revenue axis.

    Note:

    To add a reference band to a visualization, right-click it and select Add Reference Line to display the Properties dialog. On the Analytics tab, in the Method field, toggle Line to Band. See Adjusting Visualization Properties.

Composing Expressions

You can compose an expression to use in an expression filter or in a calculation. For both expression filters and calculations, you use the Expression Builder. Expressions that you create for expression filters must be Boolean (that is, they must evaluate to true or false). Expressions that you create for calculations aren’t limited in this way.

Note:

While you compose expressions for both expression filters and calculations, the end result is different. A calculation becomes a new data element that you can add to your visualization. An expression filter, on the other hand, appears only in the filter bar and can’t be added as a data element to a visualization. You can create an expression filter from a calculation, but you can’t create a calculation from an expression filter. See Creating Calculated Data Elements and Building Expression Filters.
You can compose an expression in various ways:

  • Directly enter text and functions in the Expression Builder.

  • Add data elements from the Data Elements pane (drag and drop, or double-click).

  • Add functions from the function panel (drag and drop, or double-click).

See Expression Editor Reference.

Creating Calculated Data Elements

You can create a new data element (typically a measure) to add to your visualization. For example, you can create a new measure called Profit that uses the Revenue and Discount Amount measures.

  1. To open the Add Calculation dialog, go to the bottom of the Data Elements pane and click Add Calculation.
  2. In the Expression Builder, compose an expression. See About Composing Expressions and Expression Editor Reference.
  3. Click Validate.
  4. In the Name field, enter a name for the calculated data element.
  5. Click Save.
    The new data element is created and added to the My Calculations folder in the Data Elements pane. You can add this data element to your visualizations as you would any other data element. For example, in visualization drop targets or in filters.

Building Stories

You can capture insights, group them into stories, and share them with others.

Topics:

Capturing Insights

As you delve into data in visualizations, you can capture key information within an insight. Insights are live in that they can be changed and polished as many times as you need before you are ready to share them with others.

Insights enable you to take a snapshot of the information you see in a visualization, and help you remember “ah ha” moments while you work with the data. You can share insights in the form of a story, but you don’t have to. They can simply remain as a list of personal "ah ha" moments that you can use to go back to, and perhaps explore further. You can combine multiple insights in a story and you can link them to visualizations. See Adjusting Visualization Properties.

Note:

Insights don't take a snapshot of data. They only take a snapshot of the project definition at a certain point in time. If someone else views the same insight, but that person has different permissions to the data, they might see different results than you do.
  1. Perform one of the following actions:
    1. Click the Insights tab in a project to display the Insights pane, and click Add Insight.
    2. On the canvas toolbar, click Story Navigator, and in the Story Navigator pane, click Add Insight.

    Note:

    You can also press the control key and “I” on your keyboard to quickly create an insight.
  2. In the Insight text box, click the down arrow, and select Edit.
  3. In the Description field, enter text to describe the realization you have for the data shown in the visualization at that moment.
  4. Continue adding insights to build a story about your data exploration.
    The story builds in the Story Navigator pane, with each insight displayed as a blue circle.

    Note:

    If an insight has a solid triangle, this tells you that it matches the project’s current state. If you navigate away from the insight, the triangle becomes hollow. This is useful when you are creating and navigating a story. The same solid or hollow treatment is also applied to the circle representing the current step in the Story Navigator.

Shaping Stories

After you begin creating insights within a story, you can cultivate the look and feel of that story. For example, you can include another insight or hide an insight title.

Note:

You can have only one story in a project.
  1. On the canvas toolbar, click Story Navigator.
  2. In the Story Navigator pane, click Menu.
  3. Shape the story in the following ways:

    Note:

    You can modify canvas content for an insight, for example, add a trend line, change the chart type, or add a text visualization. After you make a change to an insight you are viewing, the wedge (in the Insight pane) or dot (in the Story Navigator) becomes hollow. If you select Update, it updates the insight with the changes, and the wedge or dot becomes solid blue again.

Sharing Stories

After you save a story, you can share it with others using the project URL.

The best way for users to see a story is in presentation mode. You can set a project to be view-only for all users by adding the parameter reportMode = presentation to the project URL, and then sharing that URL directly with others, for example, by e-mail or instant message. See Viewing Streamlined Content.

Note:

Project authors see the Story Navigator if they launched it before they shifted into presentation mode.

Exploring Data Without Authoring

This topic covers how authors can interact with others in projects without worrying about non-authors compromising the data.

Topics:

Investigating Data Using Interactions

Project content authors can interact with view-only users in projects while still maintaining project integrity. View-only users have an optimized view of the project data without seeing the clutter of unnecessary authoring content controls.

View-only users can’t perform authoring tasks such as creating projects, modifying data, editing visualizations, or modifying canvas layouts, so those controls aren’t displayed to them while they are investigating project content.

Viewing Streamlined Content

You can use the presentation mode to view a project and its visualizations without the visual clutter of the canvas toolbar and authoring options.

Presentation mode allows you to easily share a streamlined view of the project with other users who need the information, but don’t author the content. In presentation mode, view-only users can hide, open, and edit current filter selections, and explore stories, insights, and discussions, but they can’t change anything. A view-only user can toggle the presentation mode on and off.

Tip:

In the project editor, click the Filter Panel toggle icon to collapse the filter bar before starting the presentation mode. You can hide the filters bar to maximize the canvas space and provide a cleaner view of the project’s visualizations.

  1. On the canvas toolbar, click Presentation Mode.
