Editing individual data visualisations in a liveboard

How to edit individual data visualisations in a liveboard in ThoughtSpot

You can individually edit each of your data visualisations by clicking the three dots in the top right corner of the selected tile, and clicking ‘Edit’.

Here, you will be able to view the data visualisation, and apply desired changes to manipulate the data.

Along the top of your screen you will see a search bar. This shows the components that make up the visualisation, also known as “search phrases”. There are boxes around each search phrase, so you can easily see where it begins and ends. Your search phrases still appear as text when you are typing, but whenever you click out of the search bar, they are boxed. Measures are green, attributes are blue, and filters are grey.

You can add measures, attributes, dates, and formulas to your data visualisation by selecting the desired boxes from the left-hand panel. You can filter these columns by popularity, category, and alphabetical order. Once you have selected your columns, these will appear in the search bar at the top of the screen, select ‘Go’ and the changes will be applied to your visualisation.

Filtering of values

Whilst creating your visualisation, you can start to filter by values you’re interested in.

When selecting a measure, attribute or date from the left-hand side, by clicking on a component you will see a filter icon appear. Click on the filter icon to filter values.

Visualising data

You can change the visualisation of your data by selecting the top icon in the right-hand panel.

Here, you can select from multiple chart and graph types to best suit the data you would like to visualise. Some examples of these chart and graph types can be seen below.

In addition to altering the graphics of your data, you can access the data tile’s settings by selecting the cog icon in the right-hand panel.

Under the “Configure” heading, you can amend the Time axis, and the data that is being visualised, as well as the data that is not being visualised, here.

Then, under the “Settings” heading you can access the data visualisation’s settings. You can alter the display, including adding or removing data labels, sparkline, and showing data comparison. You can also change what the selected data visualisation is being compared with, as well as colours and number of max data points.
