How to create a dimension selector specific to a single visualization?
I am creating a dimensions selector for a specific to single visualization. I want the viewer to be able to pick any of the widgets I have available in a dashboard and ultimately be able to create the dashboard they want to view. In my example below, you can see the person has chosen fields to visualize. I am trying to recreate this option for my users. I would assume I would do this in either BloX or maybe a plugin? Any suggestions Liliia_DevX DRay
Hi Astroraf ,
From the screenshot you shared, it looks like you have a single measure applied to a column chart and want to give users the ability to choose which dimension to apply it to.
Sisense offers built-in solutions for this, such as:
✅ Switchable Dimensions
✅ Dynamic Dimension/Value ChartWhile these solutions work well, they require users to right-click to access the functionality, which may not be the most intuitive experience.
For a more user-friendly and interactive UI, Paldi Solutions has developed the Dim Switcher—a plugin that adds a dropdown directly within the widget, allowing viewers to seamlessly select which dimension to display.
If you're looking to enhance self-service BI capabilities, you may also find these add-ons useful:
🔹 Measure Changer – Allows users to switch between different measures dynamically.
🔹 Chart Type Switcher – Enables easy toggling between different chart types.However, if your goal is to let users fully build and customize their dashboards by selecting widgets from a catalog, I’d highly recommend checking out the Viewer’s Dashboard Plugin as HamzaJ suggested — it has been designed specifically for this level of self-service BI.
