Amazon Quick Sight adds hierarchy filter for multi-level dashboard drill-down

AWS has introduced a hierarchy filter for Amazon Quick Sight dashboards, allowing authors to offer multi-level filtering through a single compact control. AWS says the design is intended to reduce dashboard clutter and guide readers to the data they need in fewer steps.

Amazon Quick Sight is described by AWS as a fully managed, cloud-native business intelligence capability for building and publishing interactive dashboards. The hierarchy filter brings multiple filtering levels into one control, linking the way data is filtered with how readers navigate a dashboard.

The feature adds another dimension to Quick Sight’s use in analytics experiences. In an earlier post, AWS described Datacor embedding Quick Sight dashboards and natural-language queries in TrackAbout for self-service rental analytics. The new hierarchy filter focuses on data exploration within dashboards; for authors presenting data across multiple levels, its significance is a more compact way to support drill-down filtering.
