Active Report - Different Behaviour for Legacy Chart vs Visualisation

[chewza]

Hi there

When I want to use a data button bar to filter the values in a Chart, I have to go through the hassle of the using a data deck, connecting the button bar to the deck, and doing a master-detail relationship to the chart in the deck.
From what I can gather, this is because there is not option to choose "Filter"in the connection to a (legacy) chart.

With C11 visualisations, it seems far more straigthforward - you can connect the data button bar directly to the chart, since the option to "Filter" is there  - you are not confined to "select". So is it just a case of always using visualisations rather than charts to make life easier?

Am I missing something? Is the "master-detail"method no longer required?

Many thx
