How to capture clicked metric value from a Pie Chart using Compose SDK?

Hi everyone,

I'm embedding a Sisense dashboard using the Compose SDK (@sisense/sdk-ui) in my React app. I can render widgets using WidgetById and everything looks fine visually.

What I'm trying to do now is capture user interaction with a Pie Chart — specifically, I want to know which pie slice the user clicked, such as the category name ("Active", "Closed", etc.).

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

Added onWidgetClick and container onClick event handlers

Used event.detail, event.target, etc.

Tried a custom double-click workaround with setTimeout

Checked the widget configuration for drill options and filters

But none of these gave me the value or label of the clicked pie slice. The click event doesn't contain the metric/dimension value.

Context:

Using Compose SDK (@sisense/sdk-ui)

Rendering widgets from dashboard via /api/v1/dashboards/:id/widgets

Widget type: Pie Chart

Rendering via WidgetById inside SisenseContextProvider

What I need:

Is it possible to get the clicked dimension or category from a pie chart using Compose SDK?

If not, is there a workaround via classic embedding or JavaScript SDK?

Any configuration or drill setup that enables this behavior?

Thanks in advance for any guidance or examples. Would really appreciate help from someone who’s tackled this before!

Hi midhun_e

WidgetById has a prop named onDataPointClick, it should do what you want.

onDataPointClick={(point: DataPoint ) => {
          console.log('Data Point Clicked:', point.categoryValue);
        }}

Let us know if it works for you

Thanks
