Sometimes it can be useful to have a chart which is not interactive (not "clickable" by users), just like as if it's a picture which keeps following users selections.
This way users should not be able to apply a filter on the chart dimension.
A feature gap to QlikView actually. And very useful when you want to visualize someting but at the same time make sure that the users can't interact with the data in a "wrong" way. A typical scenario is when you use a "rolling months calendar" and use the rolling period as a dimension. Selecting the dimension is not relevant - it is only relevant to visualize the rolling x periods.
Thank you for your feedback on ways to improve our product. While this is something we understand would be useful, it's not on the short-term roadmap. Please continue to show your support for this idea.
Such feature of course puts a lot of responsibility on the developer to explain the "magic" as users expects all charts to be interactable.
Suggesting that users expect all charts to be interactable seems very short-sighted. Qlik Sense at it's most basic is a presentation foundation for data. There are all sorts of data that doesn't make sense to interact with. A dashboard that presents a single record view such as a personal profile has no business being interactive after you search for the person. When the person's gender is returned, clicking it for a single record is obviously useless.
This is a very useful idea. I have a very small graph for one cell, in which I would like to disable the filtering option, since when filtering, a panel pops up, in which there is nothing to fit and this is incomprehensible to the user.
