Creating a visualization using master items

When you are working with an unpublished app, you can create and use master dimensions and measures.

When you are working with a published app, you cannot create master items, but you have access to any master dimensions and measures that were included in the app when it was published.

Adding a chart to a sheet

You start creating a visualization by dragging a chart onto a sheet.

Do the following:

1. Click @Edit in the toolbar.

   You find charts in the panel that opens on the left-hand side.

2. Drag a chart onto a sheet.

   You can drop it in an empty location on the sheet, split the area of an existing visualization into two, or replace an existing visualization. You can also convert an existing visualization to another kind of visualization.

Adding a master dimension

You find the master dimensions in the left-hand panel when you are editing a sheet.

Do the following:

• Drag a dimension from the Dimensions category and drop it on the visualization.

The dimension is added to the visualization.

Adding a master measure

You find the master measures in the left-hand panel when you are editing a sheet.

Do the following:

• Drag a measure from the Measures category and drop it on the visualization.

The measure is added to the visualization.

You now have a complete visualization that you can start using while exploring the data in the app.

Adding a master measure to a combo chart

The procedure is slightly different when creating a combo chart.

Do the following:

1. Drag a measure from the Measures category and drop it onto the visualization.

2. Click Add "<measure name>".

3. Select how to visualize the measure by clicking one of the following: As bar, As line or As marker.

The measure is added to the visualization.
