PL-300 · 3.2.7 · Visualize and analyze the data
Group and layer visuals
Group and layer visuals by using the Selection pane
The controls object visibility, grouping, naming, and on a report page.
Manage complex pages from one pane
The lists every object on the page. Rename objects so complex pages remain understandable, especially when and accessibility depend on object names.
Control visibility and layers
The eye icon hides or shows an object. Reordering the list changes which overlapping object sits on top. Hidden objects can still influence the report, for example a hidden can continue filtering.
Group related objects
Groups let several visuals, shapes, buttons, or images move and hide together. Groups can also be nested for more complex page designs.
Bookmarks can store object visibility, which makes the Selection pane central to patterns such as tabbed layouts or show/hide panels.
Exam clue: visibility, overlap, grouping, or bookmark-driven panels point to the Selection pane.
