Details on Manage Relations


This dialog is used to manage relations between both new and previously added data tables in your analysis. When data tables have been related, they can be set up to propagate marking and filtering  (see Filtering in Related Data Tables) from one data table to another. A relation between data tables is necessary if you want to set up a details visualization where the marking in one visualization allows you to drill down to details about the selected data in another visualization.

To reach the Manage Relations dialog:

  1. On the menu bar, select Data > Data table properties.

  2. In the Data Table Properties dialog, go to the Relations tab.

  3. Click Manage Relations.
