The analysis menu

While working on an analysis, Amazon QuickSight provides menu options, as shown at the top of the following screenshot. You use these menu options to efficiently perform tasks without needing to manually navigate through your analysis to find the assets that you want to change.

You can use these options to perform the following tasks.

  • File – Perform analysis management tasks, including creating, sharing, and publishing. Authors can use this option to make changes across all sheets or visuals in an analysis.

  • Edit – Navigate between changes that you make to the analysis. You can undo or redo changes that you make.

  • Data – Manage datasets, data fields, and parameters. Changes that you make by using this option are applied to all sheets in the analysis.

  • Insert – Use an ingress point where you can add visuals, text boxes, insights, reporting objects, filters, and parameters to an analysis. The content that you insert can be data or objects.

  • Sheets – Manage the sheet settings of the analysis, including layout settings, actions to add or remove assets from a sheet, and sheet properties.

  • Objects – Manage objects and their features, including style, canvas placement, sizing, card background, and borders. You can also manage these objects by using the Properties pane when working on a visual object.

  • Search – Access the Quick search bar. Quick search is a search bar that will begin showing results for the asset you are searching for as you type. The suggested results continue to modify as you type until you see the result that you're looking for.
