How to design dashboards with less data and show all data in dashboard?

When designing dashboards, it is often impractical to process all available data, especially when dealing with large datasets. Processing large volumes of data can be time-consuming and resource-intensive. To address this challenge, data sampling can be enabled during the design phase. This approach allows for the creation of dashboards using a subset of the data, ensuring efficient and responsive design processes. Once the dashboard is in view mode, all records will be displayed.

The detailed steps on how to enable data sampling can be found in this documentation.

NOTE: Data Sampling is not supported for the following data sources: SSAS, SparkSQL, AWS OpenSearch, Elasticsearch,Influx DB and ODBC.

Differences between Data Sampling and Threshold

• The Data Sampling limit will be applied only for designing the dashboard, while threshold will be applicable for the view and preview mode of the dashboards as well.
• The Data Sampling is applicable only when the data source is created in table mode.
• The Threshold is applicable only when the data source is created in code mode.
