362 visual types. One file to send them in.

A click sets the page's selection. Every other visual reads that selection and re-runs its own query under it, whether it is drawing from a file held in the browser or from a table queried in place. The visual that was clicked dims the marks nobody chose instead of dropping them, so the shape of the whole stays behind the part.

A selection can be told where not to go: any visual can be set to ignore the clicks of any other, one pair at a time. A click on one table reaches a second through a conformed field, which is the lighter of the two ways Binse relates two datasets, the other being a lookup joined once when the data loads.

Drill-down steps through a hierarchy defined once on the dataset, Region then Country then City, rather than configured again on every chart. Drill-through carries the clicked value to another page, and leaving that page returns to the one it came from.

Slicers are associative. A value the current selection excludes is greyed rather than removed, so a carrier with no shipments in the chosen month reads as empty rather than as missing. That path is in the code and is described in the user guide; it was not exercised on screen while this page was written.

Cross-filtering is a shared helper that runs through the gallery rather than a feature bolted to a handful of chart types. It is not in every one of the 362: a spacer, a text card or a divider has nothing to filter by.

The count is taken from the live registry rather than from a document describing it, and every type identifier in it is distinct. The largest categories are Filters and controls with 36, Correlation with 29, then KPI and tiles and Trend and time with 27 each.

Each one declares a sample configuration, so picking it places it against the dataset already loaded rather than opening an empty card. There is no sweep proving that all of them render without error against live data, so what is claimed here is 362 registered built-in visual types, and nothing beyond that.

The picker inside the app lists a visual by name, description and icon, with a search box across all of them and the categories down the side. It does not show a preview picture of each one.

341 of the 362 have a rendered picture in the user guide that ships with Binse. Twenty have none. They are mostly maps, images, embeds and media, and rather than round the number up, here they are:

Export writes one HTML document holding three things: the viewer, the dashboard's own saved specification, and the data behind it. No server, no install, no account, no sign-in. Whoever opens it is never licensed, counted or charged, because there is nothing there to sign in to.

The dashboard measured for this page has two pages, fifteen visuals, nine visual types and 42,899 rows behind it. It came out as one file of 8,400,027 bytes, 8.40 MB, in 0.04 seconds. Served from a plain static file server with the Binse engine unreachable, it drew in full and its cross-filtering still worked.

The file carries the visual types the dashboard actually uses, appended to a viewer shell, rather than the whole gallery. A dashboard that used nearly all of the gallery would carry the whole gallery instead, because the export writes whichever of the two comes out smaller. If a visual type in the dashboard has no built bundle, the export stops and names it rather than writing a file with blank panels.

What it contacts, exactly. No third party, and no host other than the one the file was opened from. It is not silent, though. The viewer build still carries the application shell's engine poller, so it asks that same origin for two of the app's own endpoints, once at load and then every few seconds. Both answer 404 on an ordinary web server, and the dashboard works regardless. It is dead code, it is on the list to be removed, and until it is removed this page describes it.

Over a large table the file carries pre-aggregated summaries rather than rows, and a visual those summaries cannot answer says so in the file instead of printing a number that is not right. The row-carrying export is the one measured here. The summary-carrying one was not, so nothing is claimed about its size or its speed.

The rows travel in the file. Sending somebody a dashboard is sending them the data behind it. There is no cloud viewer, no hosted publishing and no per-viewer permission, so the file itself is the access control.

A file under 512 MB is read into the browser and queried there. Above that, Binse converts it once into a Parquet store of its own and DuckDB queries it in place, on the same machine, from the same query compiled to SQL instead. A total is a total over every row on either path.

DuckDB is in the installer. There is nothing to download and no second engine to configure.

While a store is being built, design work carries on against a sample of the first rows, and the app badges it as a sample. Every number is either computed over all the rows or labelled with what it was computed over.

The conversion covers CSV, TSV, text, NDJSON and Parquet. An Excel workbook over 512 MB is not converted: the app says so in the message it gives back, and offers the first rows as a design sample or a database connection instead.

No figure is published here for the largest file this has run against. The large benchmarks in the project's own design notes were run on files generated for the purpose, on one laptop, and a generated file is not your file. When a real one has been measured, it will appear as a receipt with the hardware attached.

A measure is an aggregate expression: Sum([units]), or Sum([value_eur]) / Sum([units]). It aggregates over the rows in the group rather than over the buckets, so a rate is the rate of the whole group and not the average of a column of rates. Set its format once and every visual follows. There is no separate filter-context language layered on top of it. The expressions are the ones written on the workflow canvas, with the one difference set out at the end of this section.

The aggregates are Sum, Avg, Min, Max, Count, CountRows, CountDistinct and Median. Time intelligence is a setting on the measure, not a new expression: year to date, quarter to date, month to date, rolling windows, previous period, same period last year, and the change on last year in value or as a percentage. The value is re-aggregated over the window and never summed from the buckets, and a window reads past the filter, so a year-to-date under a July to December filter is still the whole year.

Two things it deliberately does not do. A rolling window counts the buckets that exist, so over a series with gaps a filtered rolling window is not the unfiltered one. And a filter that lists dates rather than bounding them, three particular days, is not read behind, because there is no bound to read behind.

The formula language is shared, and this canvas is the exception. One implementation holds 76 functions and is imported by Data Flow, and by Explore in Binse Enterprise. The dashboard designer's formula box is a separate implementation that runs in the browser, with 60 functions and 8 aggregates. The same language to write in, a different engine underneath, so a formula that works on the canvas is not guaranteed to work in a measure.

A dashboard exports to PDF, one sheet per page, each sheet sized to its own page so nothing is cropped or letterboxed. It exports to PowerPoint, one slide per page, on a blank master. Both are pictures. The browser captures each page and the file is built around the capture, so a deck is something to annotate rather than a set of charts to edit.

Any card on its own saves as PNG, or as SVG where the card is a chart. Tables and tiles give a PNG, and the menu says so rather than producing an empty vector. The picture carries the filters that were in force when it was taken, written underneath it, which is the context a pasted screen capture usually loses. It can be copied to the clipboard instead of saved, on a card colour, on white or on nothing.

A card's menu gives a picture, not its rows. CSV comes from the data view, and from the few visuals that are themselves a grid.
