Multi-visualization

What to know

Multi-visualization or Multiple Visualizations can be set up to create more than one visualization with the same data and set up.

Usage

Multi-visualizations give the same type of option as a filter would, but displays all filter options instead of having to toggle through them. This makes them excellent for comparison.

To set up for a multi-visualization, drag and drop your visualizations type onto the dashboard.

Use the multi-cog in the upper right of the card to set a dataset for the entire row. Enter your data configuration, then check the box for "Configure Multiple Visualizations". Choose the column that you want to use as the filter.

There is also an option below this to add expand and collapse buttons to save some space on the dashboard and avoid clutter.

After that, set up your visualization as normal. You can follow the examples and steps in the Configuration Options or Data Visualizations sections. You will see the full visualization in the editor screen, but in Dashboard preview, you will be able to see it as a multi-visualization.

Example Dashboard with Multi-viz Map

This dashboard was built with one map configured as a multi-visualization. It displays 5 maps with the option to expand or collapse at the top right of each one.
