ZoomCharts Documentation

Each Drill Down Visuals product is available in two versions: Filter and Pin.

Both versions include the same core features and customization options. The difference is how each version interacts with other visuals and Power BI dashboards.

For most report creators, the Filter version is recommended. Use the Pin version when you need to pin a ZoomCharts visual as a dashboard tile in the Power BI service.

Pin To Dashboard

The Pin version supports pinning ZoomCharts visuals directly to Power BI dashboards as tiles.

Use the Pin version if your report workflow includes creating Power BI dashboards in the Power BI service.

The Filter version cannot be pinned directly as a tile on a Power BI dashboard.

Cross-Chart Interactions

The Filter and Pin versions behave the same inside the visual itself. However, they differ in how selections and drill-down actions affect other visuals on the same report page or dashboard.

• Filter: cross-filters ZoomCharts visuals, Power BI native visuals, and other custom visuals.
• Pin: cross-filters other ZoomCharts visuals and cross-highlights Power BI native visuals or other visuals that support highlighting.

Filter version

When a user drills down or selects data in the Filter version, the selection cross-filters all visuals on the report page that have cross-filtering enabled.

This includes:

• ZoomCharts visuals
• Power BI native visuals
• Other custom visuals

Because the filter state is shared across visuals, users can update the current filter context by interacting with different visuals on the same report page.

Pin version

When a user drills down or selects data in the Pin version, the interaction behavior depends on the type of visual affected.

• ZoomCharts visuals: Selecting data cross-filters other ZoomCharts visuals on the same report page. If the user selects data in another visual, the previous filter state is reset. To combine selections from multiple visuals, hold Ctrl while selecting data.
• Power BI native visuals and other visuals with highlighting support: Selecting data in a ZoomCharts visual cross-highlights data in these visuals if cross-highlighting is enabled. Cross-filtering is not applied.
