Using Waterfall widgets as selectors

You can enable the bars of a Waterfall widget as selectors. In MicroStrategy Web, users can click a bar or a section of a bar to display data related to it in all target Grid/Graphs and panel stacks in the document.

For example, an attribute is placed on the columns of the Grid/Graph that contains the widget. The attribute is enabled as a selector. The elements of that attribute are displayed in the widget's legend in MicroStrategy Web. An analyst can select items from the legend to update target Grid/Graphs and panel stacks in the Report Services (RS) dashboard. Metrics on a Waterfall widget can also be used as selectors.

To use a widget as a selector, you first choose the target Grid/Graph and/or panel stack in MicroStrategy Developer. You can also do this in Design Mode or Editable Mode in MicroStrategy Web. For details and steps, Viewing data related to widgets: Using widgets as selectors.
