Chooser

A chooser chart can be used to:

• Show a summary of measures

• Let a user choose which measure to use in downstream charts

• Let a user choose which column to use in downstream charts

Choices made in a chooser chart can drive the narrative of the story that follows using dynamic columns or measures. There are two types: measure chooser and dimesnion chooser.

Measure chooser

A chooser chart with measures (i.e., a measure chooser) will display a high-level summary of measures. The selection made in a measure chooser can be used as a dynamic measure in one or more downstream charts, allowing for user-driven exploration.

To add a measure chooser slice:

• select Chooser from the chart list

• select the measures you want to add in the order you want them displayed

• add slice text (optional)

Dimension chooser

A chooser chart with dimensions (i.e., a dimension chooser) lets users select one dimension from a group of dimensions for use as a dynamic dimension in one or more downstream charts, allowing for user-driven exploration.

To add a dimension chooser:

• select Chooser from the chart list

• select the dimensions you want to add in the order you want them displayed

• add slice text (optional)

• click Save changes

Using dynamic dimensions or measures

Chooser slices are particularly powerful when slices further down the report refer to the selections in the chooser.

To reference the selection made in a chooser slice:

• Create a dimension chooser or measure chooser using the instructions in the sections above

• In a downstream slice, select the chooser's slice slug in the column dropdown and/or measure dropdown

After making your chart dynamic, you may want to make your slice text dynamic as well. To learn how, go here.
