Enable widget analysis mode

You can add three types of BI analysis widgets in the canvas editor:

• BI analysis chart widgets: In the asset panel, click the BI Analysis module. Click or drag a chart widget from the module list to the canvas. The widget automatically enters analysis mode. When you add the widget, the Change Dataset dialog box automatically appears. Customize the dataset content to start the data-centric creation flow for the BI analysis mode widget.

• BI analysis sub-widgets: In the asset panel, click the BI Analysis module. Click or drag a sub-widget that supports analysis mode from the module list to the canvas. This lets you quickly create a map widget in analysis mode that contains specific types of sub-widgets.

  Note

  The BI Analysis module currently contains a limited number of chart widgets and sub-widgets. More types of BI analysis widgets will be added in the future. For more information about the widgets, see BI Analysis Widgets.

• Map sub-widgets: In the asset panel, click the Map module. Click or drag the Basic Flat Map 3.0 widget to the canvas. In the sub-widget management panel of the map, enable Create in Analysis Mode. Then, in the creation panel, select the sub-widgets to add to enter the map sub-widget analysis mode.

For a v5.x chart widget that supports analysis mode, right-click the widget to open the context menu. Click Switch to Analysis Mode.

When you switch a Basic Flat Map 3.0 widget that contains multiple sub-widgets to analysis mode from the context menu, the Select Widgets to Switch to Analysis Mode dialog box appears. In the dialog box, check one or more sub-widgets to switch to analysis mode. After you make your selections, click OK to complete the switch.

On the data panel of a widget that supports analysis mode, you can switch between two modes in the upper-right corner: Default Mode and Analysis Mode.

• Default Mode: Configure the widget's data using the standard data configuration method. For more information, see Configure Asset Data.

• Analysis Mode: This mode uses the data-centric flow with automated style configuration and exploratory view construction. For more information, see Introduction to the BI analysis mode data panel.
