[Seamless] View documents behind a visualization #124745

Open ryankeairns opened 2 years ago

ryankeairns commented 2 years ago

Summary

As an analyst, reviewing dashboards and visualizations throughout Kibana, I would like to view the underlying documents of a given visualization without leave the context of the current application.

Problem

Customers can often lose context as they move between applications or they resort to keeping multiple tabs open often recreating their 'dataset' in each view. One of the most common experiences in Kibana involves opening Discover to view documents.

Research

https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/126417

Proposed solution

In order to reduce instances of lost context and, relatedly, manually navigating between applications, provide a 'document tray' UI that can be trigger from any visualization*.

*Ok, perhaps any visualization is a stretch goal. What if we start with adding this capability to, say, Lens visualizations. Could this capability then ride along and appear anywhere a visualization is backed by Lens?

+1 from some feedback via the "Give feedback" option

Please add back the support for a Dashboard panel that shows the contents of selected record(s). This feature was apparently present in Kibana 7.5.0. With latest Kibana, the user is not allowed to drill down into a panel, all the way to seeing the contents of a record.

CC @flash1293 as we just recently added an "Explore data in Discover" option to lens panels
