AWS – Amazon QuickSight launches Highcharts visual (preview)

Amazon QuickSight now offers Highcharts visuals, enabling authors to create custom visualizations using the Highcharts Core library. This new feature extends your visualization capabilities beyond QuickSight’s standard chart offerings, allowing you to create bespoke charts such as sunburst charts, network graphs, 3D charts and many more.

Using declarative JSON syntax , authors can configure charts with greater flexibility and granular customization. You can easily reference QuickSight fields and themes in the JSON using QuickSight expressions. The integrated code editor includes contextual assistance features, providing autocomplete and real-time validation to ensure proper configuration. To maintain security, the Highcharts visual editor prevents the injection of CSS and JavaScript. Refer documentation for supported list of JSON and QuickSight expressions

Highcharts visual is now available in all supported Amazon QuickSight regions – US East (Ohio and N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Africa (Cape Town), Asia Pacific (Jakarta, Mumbai, Seoul, Singapore, Sydney and Tokyo), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland, London, Milan, Paris, Stockholm, Zurich), South America (São Paulo) and AWS GovCloud (US-West).
