This section refers to the
type
parameter that is part of a dashboard element.type
can also be used as part of a dashboard filter, described on the Dashboard parameters documentation page.type
can also be used as part of a join, described on thetype
documentation page.type
can also be used as part of a dimension, described on the Dimension, filter, and parameter types documentation page.type
can also be used as part of a measure, described on the Measure types documentation page.
The type
parameter determines the type of visualization to be used in a LookML dashboard element, which is created using the elements
parameter. The type
parameter is defined with other LookML dashboard parameters in a dashboard.lkml
file.
Usage
The type
parameter for LookML dashboards accepts the following values:
elements:
- name: element_name
type: looker_column | looker_bar | looker_scatter | looker_line | looker_area | looker_pie |
looker_donut_multiples | looker_funnel | looker_timeline | looker_waterfall | text | single_value |
looker_single_record | table | looker_grid | looker_map | looker_google_map | looker_geo_coordinates |
looker_geo_choropleth | looker_boxplot | button
LookML dashboard element types
If multiple measures are specified, each measure becomes a y-axis series. If pivots are present, each pivot and measure combination becomes a y-axis series. If no measures are specified, two dimensions can be plotted.

If multiple measures are specified, each measure becomes an x-axis series. If pivots are present, each pivot and measure combination becomes an x-axis series. If no measures are specified, two dimensions can be plotted.
|
If two dimensions are specified, the first dimension is placed on the y-axis and the second dimension is placed on the x-axis. If multiple measures are specified, each measure becomes a y-axis series. If pivots are present, each pivot and measure combination becomes a y-axis series. If no measures are specified, two dimensions can be plotted.
