Display All Unique Elements for a Selected Filter Panel Attribute

This applies to: Visual Data Discovery

Resolution

The reason that only some, and not all, of the available attribute elements are showing on the filter panel is due to how Symphony samples the data by default during the initial source creation. To have the filter panel populate with all the field elements, please refresh the field from within the data source so all the data is sampled. To do this:

  1. Ensure you are logged into Symphony as an administrator.
  2. Select Sources from the main menu. The Data Sources page appears.

  3. Scroll down the list of connected data sources, select the target source and navigate to the Fields page.
  4. Scroll to the field on which the filter is being applied.
  5. Under the Statistics column, select the Refresh button.
    This ensures that all the values for that specific field will appear on the filter panel of the visuals.
