Sankey diagram custom visualization

Starting with the release of Strategy ONE (March 2024), dossiers are also known as dashboards.
Starting in Strategy 2021 Update 1, there is an new out-of-the-box, feature-rich, Sankey visualization . We highly recommend using this visualization instead. Starting in 2021 Update 5, the Sankey visualization is located in the More section of the Visualization Gallery, instead of the Custom section. 
Sankey diagram custom Visualization. 
This visualization draws sankey diagram with each level of attributes and one metric . It's different than a Google sankey diagram which requires parent-child attribute. This Visualization requires more than 2 attributes and 1 metrics.

You can set the direction of the Sankey diagram and color of the nodes and lines. 
When you set orient to vertical , It will draw the sankey diagram from the top.
Also you can set color of each node by level or node, you can set color of line by source , target or solid. Line color is applied when you set "Line Color From" to "solid". 
Color scheme of node and line is decided based on palette of Dossier.

Caution : Metric is aggregated in the client side using sum to calculate line and node size. So the value of each line may not be correct when you are using non- aggregatable  metric like profit% or distinct count metric.
