Assets panel

The assets panel provides a set of items you can use in your visualizations when you develop an app, or create a sheet in a published app. It contains the available charts, master items, and data fields in the app. The assets panel is shown on the left-hand side of the sheet you are editing.

You can save visualizations, dimensions and measures that you want to reuse as master items. These can be edited and updated across all instances in an app.
