On a dashboard, clicking a state in a map should emphasize related marks in an adjacent bar chart while dimming the others, without actually filtering any data out. Which dashboard action achieves this effect?
A highlight action is intended for drawing visual attention to related marks across one or more views. When the user selects a mark-such as a state on a map-highlight actions keep all marks in the target view visible but grey-out the non-related ones, making the associated data stand out. Filter actions would remove unrelated marks entirely, parameter actions would write values into a parameter rather than directly highlight marks, and URL actions are used to open web pages or files, not to visually emphasize data in another worksheet.
