Hi Sofia,

Thanks for reaching out. The selections under Field Settings > Access correspond to your available Reference Types, not the Access Filter name itself.

This is with Ski Team data:

/b8045296976aa3d65bc539c464f6fada

I have an Access Filter named User Country, but there's no Reference Type, and thus no option here.

If I click on 'create new access filter':

/973e03408d0c2a4e01c35e8914a7fc52

and 'create new reference type':

/59d2c7cd7cf41b5642ebc095876d8dcd

/d7499c15d9c8324543da88f8e4851932

I can now see the Reference Type available for my field:

/67817e549f872060c9c91682876be14f

I recommend reading through our Restricting Data With Access Filters Wiki entry. If you look under the Configure References Type header, for example, you'll see "Each source filter that you create needs to be categorised by a reference type. This is used to link the data in your source system with Yellowfin meta-data. It also provides a way to categorise the type of filters that you can make available for your views." There are also steps towards the bottom on how to assign Access Filters to a View.

Please take a look through this and let me know if you have any follow-up questions.

Regards,

Mike

Hi Sofia,

Thanks for getting back to me. If my understanding is correct, while this took a good deal of manual work, this is currently now working as expected, correct?

Please let me know if you require anything else here.

Thanks,

Mike
