Contexts
You can define expressions that determine the context of the main metric. Contexts can be used to provide a better understanding of the main metric displayed on the dashboard. Contexts are displayed as tooltips on charts.
Moreover, contexts can be added as additional columns to a bar chart. This enables users to sort on the context values.
If you have a metric selector, the different metrics in the selector can have their own contexts defined.
Depending on the calculation of the main metric, different contexts may be useful to explain the main metric. For example, if the main metric is defined as Average amount, a useful context usually is the Number of cases for which the average amount is calculated. This also applies when you main metric is defined as Total amount. In this case, also the Number of cases for which the sum is calculated is a useful context.
When your main metric is defined as a percentage, for example the Cases with tag (%), useful contexts are the Number of cases with tag and the Total number of cases.

The defined context metric is displayed in the Contexts panel. See illustration below.
In bar charts the contexts are displayed in columns that are added to the chart. Moreover, the context values will be visible in the hint when a user hovers over the chart. See illustration below for an example.
