Make the interaction easier to recognize and use:
- Place filters and controls where users already expect them, especially when matching familiar reports or visualizations. section 7.1.2
- Check existing interactions such as tooltips, hovers, and click-based filtering before introducing a new pattern. section 7.1.2
- Use cross-filtering to support exploration, while watching for changes that confuse users and reverting weak design choices. section 7.1.2
