Add ability to filter by Group Data labels

Ben Moreland shared this idea 4 years ago

I'm not doing this correctly, but want to bring a suggestion to one of the great features in YF. We get a lot of positive feedback on the Information feature on reports; that they can see the exact meaning of an attribute or measure. However, in a training session today, Ajay was showing how to do groupings and they loved it. However, when we looked at the Information on the columns, the grouping was on written premium, that column definition defaulted to the written premium definition, not the grouping definition. The client thought it would be nicer to have that Group column be allowed to have a user input definition and use that.

Just a thought,

Ben

Hi Ben,

Thanks for reaching out with your Idea. Just to be sure I'm understanding this correctly, are you referring to the Group Data feature from within reports?

/e1c5a8fda2f2e128f8e85039afe2a3ce

From here, you'd configure a group name, for example:

/9e1ee65d69004656a7d1ca1d48cbef80

Now from this point, I can't actually search 'Australasia' in my User Prompt filter:

/26f8285a647ef6af5a31c096f0142540

If I look for available filter values I still see the original values:

/321adbc703f8a096bd0f260659aa1398

Is what you're asking for to be able to search via User Prompt the chosen Group Data label (in this case 'Australasia')?

Regards,

Mike

Hi.

Yes, I’m referring to the Group feature. In the example below, we created 4 buckets that the client uses for written premium bands. What they thought would be nice is if they could input text for the definition of “Bucket 1” etc, so that when a user interacts with this report and selects the Column metadata under Information, the definitions would be theirs. They know that they could rename these, “<$3M”, etc. to make it more informative and will do that in this example. But there are times that bands may not be numerical.

Thanks,

Ben

Hi Ben,

Thanks for confirming, and for the idea. This sounds like a good Idea to me! I've gone ahead and converted this to an Idea ticket (and removed private details) and have submitted an internal enhancement request.

Any potential updates regarding this will be posted here.

Mike

Hi Ben,

What you're asking is actually possible via use of View-level Group Data.

To continue using my Athlete Region Australasia example, I head into my Ski Team View and go to Prepare Stage > click the '+' towards the bottom left-hand side > click 'Grouped Data':

/f68936c247f5cfab7ba4813833adfd28

Name your new field and choose the field you want to have grouped:

/3b0497def724b4b5a7c0fd181b0d6464

Create the group:

/c814b4f0c946500a8a86a57bc10568cf

/66dbfc06266bb4ef8556917e4befdaf0

The field now shows up like this when dragged into a report:

/e1d8ffe5540faa8fa7357c586bde82b6and I can of course choose this as a filter value:

/d97261b48549368578718fa52d7b8047

Please give this a try and let me know how goes.

Hi Ben,

I'm going to go ahead and mark this one as Completed since I haven't heard back from you, but if you have further questions or concerns on this, if you respond, it will re-open the case and put it back in my queue and I'll be happy to help.

Regards,

Mike
