Label Slicer

Label Slicers are a visualization used to filter and segment data in dashboards and reports. Instead of displaying numeric or graphical data, a label slicer provides a set of category labels that users can click to filter the data shown in other connected visualizations. This makes it an interactive control rather than a chart — ideal for building intuitive, dynamic dashboards.

You can use label slicers to:

• Filter sales data by Region, Product Category, or Channel.

• Switch between different Departments, Years, or Teams in performance dashboards.

• Allow viewers to quickly isolate data for a specific Customer Segment or Project.

This article explains the requirements for creating label slicers and provides an overview of key properties and configuration options available in Wyn Notebooks.

This topic explains how to create and customize data tables and explains the most frequently used properties. Refer to the reference for all the column chart properties and configuration options.

Create a Label Slicer

To create a label slicer, click on the Plus (+) button, opening the dropdown from which you can select your visualization.

Bind Data to Label Slicer

For a label slicer, you need to determine:

• Columns: The categorical data used as the filter labels. Each unique value in this field appears as a selectable label in the slicer.

For example, if you bind Region to the Columns slot, the slicer will display one label per region — such as North, South, East, and West — that users can select to filter the dashboard.

Once your data source is selected, all data attributes appear in the Data Binding tab. You can drag the following to the Columns binding slot:

• Data attribute: Drag and drop any categorical field from the data source.

• Calculated column: Hover over the data source table name, click the gear icon (⚙), and select Add calculated column…. Define your calculation, click OK, then drag it to the Columns slot.

Set Slicer Title

By default, Wyn generates a slicer title based on the selected data attribute.

To customize it:

1. Click the gear icon (⚙) next to the Data Binding tab to open the Inspector Panel.

2. Under Title, type a custom title for your slicer.

Note: Once a custom title is entered, changes to the data attributes will no longer automatically update the slicer title.

Customize Appearance

You can configure the appearance of the label slicer in the Inspector Panel using the following options:

• Orientation (Inspector Panel > Chart Style): Choose how the labels are arranged in the slicer — Horizontal or Vertical.

• Selection Mode (Inspector Panel > Interaction): Define how users can select labels. Choose between Single (only one label can be selected at a time) or Multiple (allow users to select multiple labels simultaneously).

• Regular Style: Customize the appearance of the label text. You can adjust:

  • Font Family – Select the desired typeface.

  • Font Size – Set the size of the label text.

  • Font Color – Choose a color for the label text.

  • Font Weight – Adjust text thickness (e.g., regular, bold).

  • Font Style – Apply styles such as italic or normal.

These options allow you to tailor the slicer’s visual presentation to match your dashboard’s overall design and readability requirements.

Add Tooltip

To show additional context when hovering over a label, drag a data attribute into the Tooltip binding slot.

For example, hovering over a Region label could display its total sales or number of customers.
