If we create a visualization object and want to use it on multiple sheets, we can add it to the Master items and bring it to a new sheet. Visualizations added from the Master item are linked. Any change in the master visualizations are reflected on the linked copy.
The following steps demonstrate how to create a master visualization for the filter panel:
- Use the right-hand clicker on the mouse to find a floating menu for the Filter Panel object.
- Select the Add to master items option.
- Set the name of the Master item to Default Filters.
- Click on the Add button to create the master visualization:
- The new item is visible in the visualizations pane of the Master items. We can also see the message that states that the object is now a linked visualization.
- If we need to edit the visualization, we should click on the Edit button found on the right-side of the panel.
The master visualization created here will be used in Chapter 7, Creating Data Stories.
