Visualization operations
It is usually necessary to customize visualizations to fit into your deck the way you want. Some operations should be done in Rollstack, while others should be done directly on the destination's platform.
Here is a summary of the allowed operations by platform:
You can replace the selected visualization with a new one, or modify the applied filters. Rollstack will open the parent dashboard to allow you to make a new selection.
When resizing the visualization within your destination platform, Rollstack will preserve the aspect ratio you previously set. Additionally, any size adjustments you make will be carried over whenever you update your destination in Rollstack.
Once a visualization is present in your destination, you can change its position and place it where you prefer. Any adjustments you make will be retained whenever you update your destination in Rollstack. You can change the visualization's position in two ways:
Drag or Copy/Paste in the destination platform
You have complete freedom to drag and drop or cut and paste your visualization in the destination platform.
In Rollstack (For Presentations only)
From Rollstack, you can quickly change the slide position of a visualization, without having to open it in the destination platform:
Navigate to your visualization inside Rollstack and click the Move to button
Select a New slide and Save
In case your visualization is an original chart (not a native chart), you can make some adjustments to make it better fit the destination content.
In case the visualization in your dashboards contains too much white padding you may need to crop the visualization to make it better fit your destination content.
To crop visualization and save cropping settings for future destination updates:
These are the 3 available options, each has some pros and cons:
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
Automatic |

Manual |

No Crop |

Rollstack does not handle cropping directly in the destinations platform which can lead to unwarranted results due to technical limitations. We strongly advise to use the Cropping feature described above instead.
You can also leverage these two options to make the visualizations better fit the destination content:
- Remove background: If enabled, the visualization will be displayed without its colored background.
- Enhance resolution: If enabled, Rollstack enhances the output quality of the image. This is particularly useful for visualizations that include large tables with many elements.
These features are currently in beta testing. If you wish to gain access, please contact us at [email protected]
In the destination's platform, you can use the grouping feature in your destination without risking breaking the link to your data source.
If you want to duplicate a visualization, you should do it directly inside Rollstack.
We do not recommend duplicating a visualization by copying and pasting it within the destination platform, as this will not duplicate the visualization configuration in Rollstack.
To duplicate a visualization with its Rollstack configuration:
Navigate to your visualization inside Rollstack and click the Three dots button
Click Duplicate
