Creating visually appealing and relevant dashboards is an important way for a creator to engage with an audience to deliver insights. Customizable containers enable dashboard creators to edit and manage a selection of elements of a chart when added to a dashboard.

There are many times when showing the same view with an alternative filter applied can make it a powerful interactive dashboard.

An existing object, generally an image, can be connected to the available filters. This gives Creators the ability to design a dashboard that uses easy to understand links to change a view.
