    Data visualization components

    The data visualization component is a container for available chart types for use in Workspace Builder home pages. Select the chart type to display data in different ways depending on your application. You can create a new data visualization or repurpose an existing data visualization by choosing it in the Select visualization from library modal and selecting Add to dashboard.

    Filter components

    Filters enable you to filter data visualizations without modifying the visualizations. Add a filter element when working with the home page in the canvas. Then select a table, field, and other properties to configure the filter. When a user selects one or more values of the field, the filter applies to those data visualizations that are based on the same data source.

    Heading components

    Heading components are available in the home pages for workspaces. Add a title to your landing page using a heading component.
