Navigating the Quicksight Interface

Here is the sample interface of Amazon Quicksight. The ones that I boxed could be referred to as toolbars, like those present in software such as the Microsoft Office Suite.

If you want to edit a chart, you can do it in the Properties pane in the orange box, which is thankfully only available in its dedicated area on the right.

• The red box acts like a toggle, appearing in the sidebars when selected:

  • Icon	Hover Name
    	Data
    	Chart
    	Filter
    	Parameters
    	Insight
    	Properties

• The brown box contains the components that you can add to the dashboard.

  • Icon	Hover Name
    	Add Visual
    	Add Text
    	Add Image
    	Import
    	Add custom content

• The buttons on the left of the red box are the undo and redo buttons.

  • Icon	Hover Name
    	Undo
    	Redo

If the toggles in the red box are unpressed, it would look like this:

It would be like a clean slate, where you really can’t do anything unless you press something in the toolbar. The toolbar is what you would use 90% of the time to create and modify visual charts in QuickSight.
