Watch this video for an explanation of the content contained in the following sections.

Actions

Each dashboard contains an Actions menu you can open to:

  • Create new dashboard:Create a new copy of the dashboard to edit and customize as desired.
  • Edit dashboard: Edit the title, tabs, and visualizations for the dashboard.
  • Create bookmark: Save a link to the page, including whatever filters you have set in your current session.

Tabs

Each dashboard opens to an Overview tab. Select the names that appear to the right of the Overview tab to switch to tabs that contain different charts and data.

Filters

Use two different types of filters to adjust the data displayed in the dashboards:

  • Choose from the drop-down filters at the top of the window
  • Select a piece of data or chart section

Drop-down filters

Each dashboard has a different set of filters to choose from that allow you to refine the data that is displayed.

Hover over a filter and select the eraser icon to remove that filter. Select Reset filters to remove all filters.

Chart filters

All visuals on a dashboard are connected. This means that if you select a piece of data or colored section of a chart, all data on the dashboard is filtered by that criteria.

For example, selecting one of the districts on the Use of Force Overview tab filters all charts to show data for just that district. The area that you selected will remain a dark color and all other districts will appear washed-out.

To remove the filter, select the data or chart section again or select Reset filters at the top of the window.

See Power BI's help documentation for additional details about filtering.

Tooltips

When you hover over a section of a chart a tooltip appears that contains additional data.

Focus Mode

Click on any chart to enter Power BI's Focus Mode and reveal additional options above the chart. Use these options to:

  • Drill up or down
  • View the filters that impact the visualization
  • Spotlight the visualization
  • Open Focus Mode, which reveals a larger version of the visualization
  • Export the data for just that visualization
  • Adjust the sorting axis or sort order

See Power BI's help documentation for additional information about Focus Mode.

Right-click

Right-click on any chart to reveal additional drill-down options, including:

See Power BI's help documentation for additional information about drill-downs.

Show as table

Select this option to reveal a larger version of the visualization, as well as a table version of all data. The Focus Mode options appear above the visualization. Select Back to report to return to the full dashboard.

Include / exclude

To include or exclude a piece of data from the displayed results, right-click on the piece of data / chart section and select Include or Exclude.

Copy

Right-click data in a table to reveal two copy options:

  • Copy value: Copies the value of that cell. If the cell contains a percent, it will be converted to the decimal value.
  • Copy selection: Copies the entire row. Unlike Copy value, percentages are not converted into decimals

After copying a value or selection, you can paste the data into another program or document by pressing CTRL/CMD + V on your keyboard.

Maps

Several dashboards contain maps. Click and drag on a map to adjust which section of the map is shown on the screen. Hover over the map and use the scroll wheel on your mouse to zoom in and out.

In the same way that selecting a chart or data section adjusts the information shown in all charts and graphs on the dashboard, selecting an area on a map adjusts all chart information. To do this, select the rectangle + cursor icon in the top right corner of the map. The mouse pointer changes to a cross that you can use to draw a square on the map.
