Once you have created a Visual Insight analysis, you can determine whether selecting attribute elements or metric values in one filter in the Filters panel affects the choices displayed for any other filter.
For example, you create an analysis, then add the Category and Subcategory attributes to the Filters panel. You can enable selections in the Category filter to affect which product subcategories are displayed under Subcategory. If an analyst selects Books in the Category filter, the items in the Subcategory filter are restricted, and only product subcategories within Books are displayed.
This procedure assumes that you have already created an analysis and added at least two attributes to the Filters panel.
You must have the Web Visual Insight and Execute Document or Analysis privileges.
Hover the cursor over the Filters panel, then click the arrow icon displayed in the top right of the panel. A list of options is displayed.
Point to Filtering,
then select one of the following:
Note: The following options apply only to filtering on attributes.
Selecting an item in a metric filter does not affect the items displayed
in any other filter.
None: Elements selected in one filter do not change the items available in any other filter.
Filter all below: Making a selection in one filter restricts the items available in all the filters below it in the Filters panel (or to its right, if the Filters panel is displayed at the bottom of the analysis). This includes filters that are hidden.
Filter all: Selecting an element in one filter restricts the elements available in every other filter.
