After adding your measures and dimensions, select Enable Explorer.

(Optional) To make changes, select Configure Measures & Dimensions.

Select Set view for explorer default., and then select OK.

This setting makes the current view the default view in Explorer Mode.
Exit Explorer Mode and then save the story.

Results

Your chart now displays that it has at least one Explorer view. The next time you select Explore from that chart, Explorer Mode will open with the new default chart or table.
