Allow chart interaction to apply filters

Hi Alex,

Thanks for reaching out. I wasn't able to get this done in the UI proper - you may be able to script something to do this in code mode, however that would be pretty involved....

I can see that the treemap does not natively "click filter" - Here I have clicked on Adventure. In my opinion, it'd be nice to have an option where the table "filters" to the selected value.

Is this what you're looking for in this case? I can create a developer task to investigate if so.

Of note, it is possible to do clickable treemap filters with drill fields; maybe this is worth an investigation.

Thanks,

Eric

Hey Eric,

This is exactly what I'm looking for. I find that it would be particularly useful in the case where the count is entirely categorical. For me this workflow looks like creating a hidden calculated count field then summing this count for the chart.

Allowing the filter though in this case would neatly filter down with more information than the sum like you have in your example.

Software version is a field in the second picture, omitted due to the number of columns I would need to include in the screenshot. Hopefully this communicates why I'd like this feature though.

Hi Alex,

Thanks for the confirmation here. I've gone ahead and create a developer task to look into this. Updates will be provided here as they become available. I'll mark this thread as Idea Logged for now; feel welcome to reply here with any related inquiries.

Thanks,

Eric

Your competitors have this functionality. During our sales process, this was highlighted as a deficiency and we were told it would be an item that got attention for a future release. No one cares about natural language, thats so 2012.

Is there an update to this? I'm looking for this feature as well.

Hi Takashi,

No updates to report at this time unfortunately, will continue to provide via this thread, you can get in touch with an account manager to get this on your organization's priority list as well.

Thanks,

Eric

For anyone looking for this kind of functionality. I work for a Yellowfin partner (RhinoIT) & this is exactly the kind of customisation we are able provide, either through javascript charts or hooking directly into the UI via a custom header.

If anyone would like to discuss this further, I can be reached on lex@rhinoit.co.uk

Eric,

Has there been any movement on this? This is one thing Yellowfin's competitors can do and I wish Yellowfin had.

Thanks,

Zack

Hi Zack,

No movement to report on the task at this time, you can request escalation of task ID YFN-24410 through your CSM if this is a priority on your end.

Thanks,

Eric

Eric,

Thanks! I will do that!
