- Enable the “visual drilling” labs feature.
- In the `drill_fields` parameter within the definition of a measure we’d like to drill into, we select only the fields we want to see in the drill modal.
- Go to the explore and drill into the measure. We should be seeing some default visualization in the drill modal.
- Click “Explore from Here” in the drill modal itself.
- In the explore that we’re taken to, we modify the visualization so that it becomes exactly what we want. This can be choosing a different type of chart, changing the colors, adding grid lines, etc.
- Once we have the visualization we want, go to “Share” on the explore and copy the expanded url.
- Paste the expanded url into a URL decoder (https://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder/) and hit “decode”.
- Copy the decoded url, paste it into a JSON string escaper (https://www.freeformatter.com/json-escape.html), and hit “Escape”.
- Copy the part of the escaped output that’s after the `&vis={` and before the `}&filter_config=`.
- Go back to the measure definition and add the following and paste in the escaped string into the url in the place of "[this is where you pass through the vis config details]":
link: {
label: "Show as line plot" #or whatever label we want
url: "
{% assign vis_config = '{
[this is where you pass through the vis config details]
}' %}
{{ link }}&vis_config={{ vis_config | encode_uri }}&toggle=dat,pik,vis&limit=5000"
}
- Save
