Adding a dimension

Adding dimensions to a visualization can be done from the properties panel.

You open the properties panel for a visualization by clicking @Edit in the toolbar and clicking the visualization that you want to edit.

If the properties panel is hidden, click h in the lower right-hand corner to open it.

Information noteIf the visualization has é in the upper right-hand corner, the visualization is linked to a master item. You cannot edit a linked visualization, but you can edit the master item. You can also unlink the visualization to make it editable.

Adding a dimension from fields

Do the following:

  1. In the properties panel, click the Data tab.

    The Data tab is expanded.

  2. In the Dimensions section, click Add to add a dimension.

    A dialog with a text box opens. Below the text box all available dimensions are listed, grouped into Dimensions (that is master items) and Fields.

  3. Start typing in the text box.

    A list of matching fields and dimensions is displayed.

    Information noteYou can also create a dimension by entering an expression directly in the text box, or by clicking 3 to create a dimension in the expression editor.

The dimension is added to the visualization. The new dimension settings are shown in the properties panel.
