Use the Visual Sidebar Menu

The visual sidebar menu appears to the right of every visual edited from the Visual Gallery. Except for the visual interactivity option, it is also available when you select Settings on the visual drop-down menu when editing a visual in a dashboard.

Selecting options on the visual sidebar menu opens and closes sidebars that allow you to control:

• The style of a selected visual
• The settings used for a selected visual
• The configuration of pivot tables and tables of raw data
• The filters used for a selected visual
• Time bar settings for a visual
• Sort and limit options for a selected visual
• Ruler and reference line settings for a selected visual
• Colors for a selected visual
• Interactivity settings for a selected visual (only available in the Visual Gallery)
• General information for a selected visual

When you are editing a visual on a dashboard, you must first select a visual (a blue border appears around the selected visual) and then select Settings on the visual drop-down menu. This makes the visual sidebar menu available.

If an option on the visual sidebar menu cannot be selected, the settings controlled by that sidebar are not available for the visual style you have selected.

The following visual sidebar menu options are available:
