A computing device displays a first object icon representing a first object of a first data source and a second object icon, representing a second object of the first data source. The first object icon is connected to the second object icon via a first connector representing a relationship between the first object and the second object. In response to receiving a first user input to add a third object, the computing device displays a third object icon representing the third object. In response to receiving a second user input on the third object icon, in accordance with a determination that the second object and the third object include at least one common data field, the computing device displays a second connector, connecting the third object icon to the second object icon.

Creation and consumption of data models that span multiple sets of facts

A computing device displays, in a user interface, data field icons corresponding to a plurality of data fields. Each of the data fields is associated with a respective object in an object model. In response to receiving (i) user selection of a first data field icon corresponding to a first data field, and (ii) placement of the first data field icon in a shelf region of the user interface, where the first data field is associated with a first object of the object model, the computing device generates a first data visualization and updates a visual characteristic of a subset of the data field icons from a first visual characteristic to a second visual characteristic. Each data field icon in the subset is associated with a second object of the object model. The data field icons in the subset are user-selectable independently of the first or second visual characteristic.

Infoscenting fields for multi-fact data model analysis using shared dimensions

A computing device displays a data visualization interface that includes a shelf region and a schema information region. The device receives user input to select a measure data field and a dimension data field from the schema information region. The device generates a custom calculation that groups data values of the dimension data field according to respective distinct data values of the dimension data field and aggregates data values of the measure data field for each of the distinct data values of the dimension data field. The device stores the custom calculation as a new selectable data field and displays the new selectable data field in the schema information region. The device receives user selection of the new selectable data field from the schema information region and placement of the new selectable data field in the shelf region. The device generates and displays a data visualization.

Methods and user interfaces for generating level of detail calculations for data visualizations

A computing device displays a data visualization interface and receives user selection of a data source. The computing device also receives user input to select a measure data field and a dimension data field. In response to the user input, the computing device: generates a custom calculation that aggregates data for the measure data field, grouped by distinct data values of the dimension data field; and stores the custom calculation as a new selectable data field, associated with a data object corresponding to the dimension data field. The computing device also receives user selection of the new selectable data field and placement of the new selectable data field onto a first shelf in a shelf region. The first shelf defines a first data visualization characteristic determined according to data values of the custom calculation. The computing device generates and displays a data visualization based on the first data visualization characteristic.
