Interactivity

Filter by User or Section Edited to update all components dynamically.

For example, selecting Alice filters the KPI cards, charts, and table to show only Alice's edits and activity.

Time slider allows focusing on edits within a specific time range, updating charts and table accordingly.

Self Check

If you add a filter for Section Edited = Body, which components update?

• Active Users KPI updates to count users active in Body section (Alice, Bob).
• Total Edits KPI updates to sum edits only in Body section (3 + 8 + 1 = 12).
• Edits by Section bar chart updates to show only Body section edits.
• Edits Over Time line chart updates to show edits timestamps only for Body section.
• User Edit Details table filters to show only rows where Section Edited = Body.

Key Result

Dashboard showing real-time multiplayer editing activity: active users, total edits, edits by document section, and edits over time.
