Dynamic Interactions

From Discover Lite, you have a variety of ways in which to dynamically interact with your data on-the-fly. You can easily explore your data set using dynamic interactions like dicing, drill, quick sort and filter, and more. These tools are accessible via the right click context menu and are designed to be simply and easy to use. With a couple of clicks, you can change the way the data set is presented in your visualization.

To access interactive query functions:

  • Right-click the cells, columns, headers, legends, or segments of the visual
  • Right-click the chips in the drop zones

Extended Interactive Functions

Aside from the interactive functions listed above, the context menus also expose extended capabilities. These are functions that extend beyond typical data consumption and analysis. These functions include Calculation tools, Actions, Alerts and Conversations.

  • Actions: jump to another report or dashboard based on a contextual click.
  • Alerts: attach a triggered event to notify you if a data point has changed (up, down or the same).
  • Workflows and Conversations: add or reply to workflow and discussion threads that are attached to data.
