In Arcadia Enterprise, you must specify the values of a newly created custom filter, after adding it to a sheet in a dashboard.
Follow these steps to configure values of the filter:
This supplies the name of the dataset in which the filter exists.
Only in filters based on a dataset fields, this specifies the filter-controlling field. You can change the base field to another field of the dataset.
This is the name of the filter as it appears in the application at run-time. We recommend that you keep it short and descriptive of the filter's function.
This is the parameter sent to the target visual to determine which field to display.
In cases of optional or variable parameters, output parameter is used on the shelves
of the target visual, such as <<[dim],
or <<[agg]
, or in an
expression that contains the variable.
When used in filters that are based on existing fields, the output parameter ensures
field name match across datasets. For example, a filter that is based on field
state
in dataset US State Populations Over Time must have
the output parameter stname
to control visuals in the dataset US
County Population.
In dataset-based filters only, this specifies base fields of another field, based on which options of the current filter can be filtered. You can enter multiple base fields separated by a comma.
In custom filter widgets, this specifies the distinct values of the output parameter on which the filter acts, and labels them.
For example, a
<<mes>>
output parameter can have the following specified
values:
gdp_per_capita
,
Label: GDP per Capitalife_expectancy
,
Label: Life ExpectancyMake the selections you need, and click Apply.
