Next-Level Interactivity in AI/BI Dashboards

As recently announced at this year’s Data and AI Summit, Databricks AI/BI democratizes business intelligence and analytics across your organization with highly visual and interactive low-code AI/BI Dashboards and no-code conversational analytics powered by AI/BI Genie. In this blog, we are excited to showcase a number of new features that enhance the performance and interactivity of AI/BI Dashboards.

Highly interactive (or clickable) business intelligence dashboards are table stakes these days. They are essential because they enable dashboard users to explore data dynamically, customizing insights with every click. This allows them to ask follow-up questions of their data and make more informed decisions much faster, unlike static dashboards that limit exploration and problem-solving through analytics.

Key improvements that we will cover in this blog include:

  • Cross-Filtering: You can now click on interesting data points in a visualization to filter your dashboard and see the impact on other key metrics and visuals. This helps you explore your data to understand relationships and correlations that uncover new insights.
  • Static Widget Parameters: Create multiple filtered visualizations that highlight different aspects of your data. For example, build two charts focusing on sales, one from the current year and one from the previous year. With static widget parameters, you can build visualizations from a single parameterized dataset without needing to create a custom dataset per visualization.
  • Filter Default Values: Focus viewers on specific data or context within a dashboard by setting default filter values that apply on initial load.
  • Improved Performance: Nobody likes dashboards that lock up or tell you to “please wait” every time you open them or click on an interesting data point. To that end, we have added several performance enhancements to ensure users get lightning-fast interactive dashboards so they can ask follow-on questions of their data without running additional SQL queries.
  • Query-Based Parameters: Dashboard authors should be able to create expressive experiences with both field and parameter filters. By allowing the combination of parameters and fields in a single filter, we've enabled new capabilities, such as dynamically populating a parameter dropdown with query results.
