Synchronizing visualizations lets you control which data table or data source corresponds to a visualization.
You can show or hide the data source. You can also lock the selection to selected positions or selected items. These settings determine how the visualization changes (or doesn’t change) when new data comes in.
Select this option to lock the visualization
- Selected Positions: The visualization is locked on the positions that are selected in the corresponding data table. These positions continue to be visualized, even if the specific items in these positions change (for example due to sorting or filtering). For example, select this option if you want to show the top five campaign names listed in the data source in this visualization at all times. No matter which campaign names show up.
- Selected Items: The visualization is locked on the specific items currently selected in the corresponding data table. These items continue to be visualized, even if they change their ranking among items in the table. For example, select this option if you want to show the same five specific campaign names listed in the data source in this visualization at all times. No matter how those campaign names rank.
If the visualization is locked to data that is no longer visible in the connected data table, you can generate a new table. Select Show table to generate a new datasource for your current visualization, separate from the original data source.
