The present disclosure pertains to linked filter groups for linking a driver element of a user interface to a receiver element of the user interface such that data filters applied to driver element are propagated to the receiver element. A first linked group may include a first set of filters for a first visualization of the driver element and a first set of element identifiers of other elements in the user interface, including a first identifier of a first receiver element. When updating visualizations of the receiver element, the first set of filters of the first linked group may be aggregated with a second set of filters of the first receiver element based on the receiver element being a member of the first linked group. As such, the updates to the receiver element are based on both sets of filters.

Linked filter groups

In some embodiments, a program generates a query for a set of data from a dataset. The dataset includes a set of measures and a plurality of dimensions for categorizing the set of measures. The set of data includes a set of locations and measure values for a measure in the set of measures categorized according to a dimension in the plurality of dimensions. The program further sends the query to a computing system configured to manage the dataset. The program also receives the set of data from the computing system. The program further renders a visualization comprising a set of visual elements. Each visual element is configured to present a set of measure values for the measure associated with a location in the set of locations. The set of measure values are categorized according to the dimension. The program also presents the visualization on a display of the device.

Generating dimension-based visual elements

Some embodiments provide a non-transitory machine-readable medium that stores a program executable by at least one processing unit of a device. The program renders a visualization that includes a first set of visual elements. The program further receives a request for measure values categorized according to the first level of dimension values in the first hierarchy of dimension values and a second level of dimension values in the second hierarchy of dimension values. The program also generates a query for a second set of data from the dataset. The program further sends the query to a computing system configured to manage the dataset. The program also receives the second set of data from the computing system. The program further renders a second set of visual elements. The program also replaces the first set of visual elements in the visualization with the second set of visual elements.
