1. Accessing the Conditional Formatting Rules
The Conditional Formatting Rules page can be accessed by choosing Conditional Formatting from the chart navigation bar.
If you cannot see these options then you may not have the correct permissions to modify the charts.
2. Converting the rule to a Filter
Enable the option entitled 'Allow Users' to select conditions.
3. Viewing the filtered chart
Once the option has been enabled, viewing the chart will show that the original rule has been removed from the legend and the filter control is now displayed in the toolbar above the chart.
Initially the chart will have the same appearance as before as all the filter options are selected by default.
4. Using the Filter
The end user simply selects which items they wish to be removed or included in the filter. Doing so will update the chart to reflect the users choice.
Using the 'Focus On' Action
The Focus On action is a powerful feature that allows the filter to focus on a specifc element of the chart, removing all the boxes that do not match the rule criteria.
To enable Focus On simply add it to the list of actions that a rule will perform when triggered.
