Amazon Quick Sight is a fully managed, cloud-native business intelligence (BI) capability for building and publishing interactive dashboards. 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. There are six filters in total: four geographical filters (Region, Sub-Region, Country, and City) and two more that cover the Segment and Product dimensions. In many real-world dashboards, readers encounter even more filters, which can significantly affect the overall user experience.
