Selections made in a story automatically drive how the story progresses in two ways:
focusing
filtering
Selections in charts let you focus in on a particular thing. In the example below, a user can select a measure (like Happiness or Family) using the measure chooser. The chart below shows only the selected measure.
Selections in a slice will automatically filter downstream slices. This allows users to drill down on the data that is relevant to their problem.
In the example below, there are two slices. The top slice has a chart that shows regions ranked by a Happiness measure, and the bottom slice has a chart that shows which countries lead across multiple measures. Notice that when nothing is selected in the bar chart, the leaderboard shows the leaders across all countries. But when a particular region is selected in the bar chart (i.e., Western Europe), the leaderboard only ranks countries within the selected region.
