Simplify dashboard drill-down with the Amazon Quick Sight hierarchy filter

What happened

Amazon Quick Sight is a fully managed, cloud-native business intelligence (BI) capability for building and publishing interactive dashboards. The new hierarchy filter gives dashboard authors rich, multi-level filtering in a single compact control, reducing clutter and guiding readers to the data they need in fewer steps.

You can access these dashboards from any device and embed them into your applications, portals, and websites. When building a dashboard, authors add filters so readers can narrow the data to what they want to analyze.

But authors must strike a balance: they need enough options for readers to explore data freely, without cluttering the interface or requiring too many steps to apply filters. The following screenshot shows a common dashboard filter layout.
