Limit nested interaction in Analytics > Dashboards > Visualisation designer
Problem
Creating visualisations with the visualisation designer is a tedious process:
- Dimensions are gradually introduced instead of being displayed upfront
- The same action has to be repeated multiple time to get the desired outcome (using the
Add another dimension button
), there is no option to select multiple dimensions / metrics at the same time.

This impact the overall Flexibility and efficiency of use heuristic
Solution
Limit progressive disclosure and fix nested interactions when picking dimensions and metrics. Swap list items for dropdown / comboboxes, as a result we can remove the Add another dimension
button.
Steps
- Refactor list items grouping
- Explore using dropdown/combobox to list items
- Explore using tokens to add / remove dimensions
