  1. Open a dashboard.

  2. In the top toolbar, click Visualization .

  3. Choose More > Sankey Diagram .
  4. In the Datasets panel, double-click attributes and metrics to add them to the visualization. A Sankey Diagram requires at least two attributes and one metric.
  5. In the Editor panel, rearrange the attributes in Levels to match the desired order. A Sankey Diagram supports unbalanced data. This means that if some data does not complete the path to the last level, it still ends at the relevant level.
  6. Open the Format panel to select formatting options, specific to Sankey Diagrams.
