How to create a dimension selector specific to a single visualization?

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 Chart

While 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.
