Dashboards open with default, predefined filters in the top Filter selection. You can change or remove these filters, for example to zoom in one 1 particular week or 1 particular business day:
You can use the filter pane on the left to make selections on the fly, like zooming in on particular floor or category. Each selection shows as an extra filter button in the top Filter selection.

Click on the “full screen button” to expand that window. This allows a closer look at the graph and exposes the legend. In some particular cases, the legend is hidden and only visible in full screen mode. For others, please check tip “How to access the legend with the axes names of a chart?” Explore a chart by selecting the “Exploration menu”:
The graph or chart will open in full screen, and on the right hand side an extra menu will open providing options to tweak the charts a little to your need (change sorting etc). Sometimes, the alternative dimensions do not show in small views. By enlarging or exploring the chart it’s possible to see and select these as well. |

Qlik options Not supported by Spacewell | Download sheet as pdf | Instead of downloading a particular chart, also the full sheet content can be downloaded in a pdf report. Mind that only the sheet body (selected content resulting from filters) is downloaded, not the filter pane. Floor plans will not be part of the report, some chart data may also be missing. |
Embed sheet | Not supported. | |
Touch screen mode | By default all dashboards can be navigated from touch screens. This toggle allows to turn off touch screen mode, as there may be some UX/UI differences with the normal mode. | |
