Focus

The Focus button is one of the data exploration buttons that appears when a scenario (such as a chart or table) is selected in a dashboard. When clicked, it enlarges the selected scenario to fill the entire dashboard canvas, helping users analyze data in greater detail without distractions from other components.

What Focus Mode Does

Maximizes the selected scenario to occupy the full dashboard space.
Hides other dashboard components temporarily for a cleaner, single-visual view.
Improves readability, especially for dense data visualizations or large data sets.

Interactive Behavior in Focus Mode

Depending on the visualization type, Focus may also enhance the way you interact with data:

Column Charts: Enables horizontal scrolling when there are too many data points to fit in the available space.
Bar Charts: Enables vertical scrolling.
Other Chart Types: Behavior varies based on chart layout and available space, but focus mode always enlarges the component for improved visibility.

How to Use

Select a scenario within the dashboard.
Click the Focus button from the data exploration options.
The selected scenario expands to fill the entire canvas area.

To exit focus mode, simply click the Focus button again. This returns the scenario to its original size and restores the full dashboard layout.

Use Cases

Viewing long category labels or many data points in charts like column or line charts.
Isolating a specific visual to present or analyze without dashboard-level noise.
Improving accessibility for users who need larger, clearer visualizations.
