The **Perspective Selector** is a new interactive chart type introduced for enhancing presentations in Valsight. Its primary purpose is to enable decision-makers and presenters to apply predefined filters across sheets in a visually appealing, intuitive way, without switching to edit mode or accessing complex filter configurations.

## Why it matters

* **Seamless Presentation Mode**: Quickly adjust views during discussions.
* **No Technical Know-How Required**: Apply complex filters via a single click.
* **Visual Storytelling**: Each perspective can include images and tailored filter sets.

This functionality significantly simplifies scenario exploration and data storytelling during live meetings.

## Navigating to the feature

### 1. Creating a Perspective Selector

1. **Open a Sheet** within your workspace.
2. Click on **“+ Chart”** to open the chart wizard.
3. Under the **“Others”** section, find and select the **“Perspective Selector”** chart type.

### 2. Configuring each perspective

A Perspective consists of a “**Name**”, an “**Image**” and a “**Filter Selection**”. All properties are optional and can be configured in every combination.

* **Perspective Name**: The name will be shown in the perspective tile. If you upload an additional image the name will be shown as a tooltip.
* **Add Image (optional)**:

  * Upload PNG/JPG (max 2.5MB, max width 1920px).
  * If no image is provided, the name will be shown in the tile.
* **Add Filters**:

  * Select filter dimensions and values.
  * Use the **“Manage filters”** button to edit filters.
  * Applied filters are shown as tags in the dialog.

### 3. Interacting with the tile

Once created:

* Each draggable tab appears as a clickable button on the tile.
* Clicking a button applies the associated filter set.
* The tile header shows **Edit** and **Settings (⚙️)** icons on hover.
* Via the cogwheel:

  * Rename the tile via **“Edit title”**.
* The tile can also be:

  * Moved
  * Duplicated
  * Saved as a template (like other charts)

## Managing & customizing

### Admin/User rights

* **No per-user customization**: Perspectives are shared and synced across users.
* **Edits in configuration dialogs** are locked while someone is editing to avoid conflicts.

### Tile customization

* Perspectives tile supports standard layout behaviors:

  * Can be rearranged and resized.
  * Supports vertical scroll if buttons/images exceed viewport. A horizontal Perspective tile can not be configured.
  * Combining multiple perspective tiles to impact a worksheet is also possible.

### Filter behavior

* **Perspective Filters Logic**:

  * Filters within a perspective: **UNION**
  * Across perspectives: applied based on button click (only one active)
  * Combined with other sheet filters using **INTERSECTION**
* **No changes to**:

  * Sheet-level filters
  * Filter conflict detection
  * Chart subtitles (Perspective filters won’t appear here)

> Perspectives are limited by the applied workspace filters, worksheet filters and chart filters.

### Limitations

* Perspective Selectors are not shown in presentation mode.
* This feature requires **CORPORATE** or **ENTERPRISE** licenses.

## Example use case

Imagine a boardroom slide where different departments (Sales, Marketing, Finance) need custom views. With the Perspective Selector:

* Each department has a pre-defined button.
* During the meeting, click a button to instantly shift the view to that department’s filters.
* Presentations stay clean, contextual, and responsive without edit interruptions.
