Drop-down list

Use the drop-down list visualization to filter other visualizations based on the values that you select.

The following two modes of filtering other visualization are available for the drop-down list:

Multi-select that enables you to filter visualizations with multiple entries.

To select a mode, click Properties and in the Chart section of the Visualization tab, select Single-select or Multi-select from the Selection drop-down list.
