Dynamically Modify the Query, Initial Selection, and Widgets with Bindings

Compared to facets, bindings are more programmatic, and provide more ways to specify interactions. Bindings can dynamically modify a query, set an initial filter selection, or change a widget’s appearance. For example, you can change the measure in a query based on a selection in a custom query. You can initially filter a region-based dashboard based on the country of the logged-in user. Or, you can change the color of the metric in a number widget based on whether its value is high, medium, or low. Each binding is unidirectional, meaning it affects other queries, but other queries don’t affect it.
