Composite Slicer
Composite Slicers helps you to apply complex data filters while previewing the dashboard to meet your data analysis requirements. Unlike other filters, composite slicers allow you to add the filter conditions while using the dashboard and it is not necessary to bind the filter conditions in advance while designing the dashboard.
Example: In this example, a series of filter criteria were added through a combination of filters when previewing the dashboard. The dashboard below shows the sum of units in stock by product name with the following filter conditions applied while previewing the dashboard:
ProductName In Aniseed Syrup, Chai, Chang
AND
SupplierID = 1
There is a And relationship between these filter conditions, and all the data that meet the above conditions will be filtered out as shown below in the image.
Steps to add a Composite Slicer
You can add the composite slicer in the designer, but they are only available when previewing.
Follow the steps given below to add a composite slicer.
From the Slicers node, drag-drop the Composite Slicer on the design area.
On the Data Binding area, bind data to support datasets or models.
Drag a Column Chart and on the data binding area, choose an appropriate dataset and then select an attribute for the Values and Axis (Category) fields. For example, in the following image, we have selected the UnitsInStock for the Values field and ProductName for Axis(Category) field.
Preview the dashboard. The column chart will display the Sum of UnitsIn Stock for all the products. On the composite slicer, you will see the options to add the filter conditions.
To add the filters, click the +Add Filter button
and click the Choose Field drop-down button to display the fields in the dataset or model.
Select the condition and add the value. In this example we have applied following filter conditions:
ProductName In: Aniseed Syrup, Chai, Chang
SupplierID = 1
Based on the field type, the available conditions vary as described below in the table.
Field Type | Options Available |
|---|---|
String | Contains, Does Not Contain, Start With, Does Not Start With, End With, Does Not End With, Equal, Not Equal,In, Not In |
Numeric Value | Less Than, Less Than or Equal To, Greater Than, Greater Than or Equal To, Equal, Not Equal, In, Not In |
Date/DateTime | Earlier Than, Earlier Than or Equal, Later Than, Later Than or Equal, In, Not In |
There is an And relationship between these filter conditions, and all data that only meet the above conditions will be filtered out.
Once the settings are complete, click the Submit button for the filter to take effect.
You can modify filter conditions, delete the filter entries, or adjust the item relationships. Hover over the filter to display the Delete button and click to delete the filter.
