Data items can be selected by clicking an item. Selected data will update data shown on other visuals. Clicking an item achieves different selection, which can be customized. Possible selections are: single item, single category of an entity, all items of an entity, single category across entities, all before, all after, overlapping, non-overlapping and clear selection. Each of these can be enabled or disabled separately.
