Set filters in the business question

The main view you will work with is the business question displayed in the Analysis page. The filters you set in the Analysis page will not influence the data displayed in the Data Quality and Data Source tabs. You can also set filters for each data workbench available in the Data Quality and Data Source pages.

The filters that are available for a business question in the Analysis tab will depend on the type of report used to visualize the business question.

Global Filters: Global filters are shared by multiple business questions. If you define a global filter in one business question, it will also be applied to all other business questions until you change the filter in another business question. You can set global filters via the   button.

Report Filters: Report-specific filters are only defined for a single business question. To open the report filter, click the caption of the business question in the Analysis content page. Click the   filter and specify filters in the Global Filters and Report Filterssections to customize the business question for your analytical needs. The report filters are applied to the business question until you actively re-set it.

Column Filters: If the business question is visualized as as data table, you can filter the data by defining conditions to apply to a row in the dataset. The filter conditions will already be set in the filter panel if you have defined filters via column headers of the data workbench. Click for details about how you can filter the data in columns.

To change the data displayed for the business question, click the Filter   button to open the filter panel. Define filter criteria and click Update to update the business question.

After you set a filter, the filter button will show a green dot   to notify you that the view only shows a subset of available data.
