How can I implement avoid over filtering in my dashboard?
To implement avoid over-filtering on your dashboard, start by adding an indicator widget to your dashboard and specify a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) that will be the reference for filtering restrictions. Assign a title to the widget. In the plugin's configuration file, include the name of the indicator widget and set the threshold value under the CounterWidgetNames setting. This configuration ensures that viewers won't be able to filter the dashboard to a level where the indicator widget's value falls below the specified threshold, effectively preventing over-filtering.
How can I prevent viewers from seeing the indicator widget I created for avoid over-filtering on my dashboard?
In the plugin's configuration file, there is a setting called 'HideCounterWidgets'. By setting this option to 'true', you can effectively hide the indicator widget that was created to implement avoid over-filtering.
The "Avoid Over Filtering" plugin for Sisense is an invaluable tool designed to enhance data privacy and maintain anonymity within your dashboard environment. This plugin empowers users to configure their dashboards strategically, preventing viewers from accidentally over-filtering sensitive information.
The plugin also lets you define a minimum threshold for key performance indicators (KPIs). This threshold helps ensure that your data stays meaningful and useful. If a filter selection reduces the results below this limit, the plugin can restrict certain options, making sure your dashboard stays informative.
Enhances Privacy & Anonymity: Ensures secure handling of sensitive data, maintaining user privacy and anonymity.
Ideal for Benchmark & Surveys: Particularly beneficial for use cases involving benchmarking and surveys.
Customizable KPI Combinations: Enables limitations based on various combinations of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
User Group Exclusions: Provides the ability to exclude specific user groups from the imposed limitations.
Complete Configurability: Every aspect of the plugin is configurable, granting users full control over their filtering preferences and restrictions.
Create a Counter Indicator Widget:
Generate a Counter Indicator Widget on your chosen dashboard and assign a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) to serve as the reference for filtering restrictions.
Configuration File Setup:
Update the plugin's configuration file with the name of the Counter Indicator Widget and define a threshold value. If the widget's value falls below this threshold, a specified message will be displayed.
Hide Counter Indicator Widget (Optional):
Optionally, configure the Counter Indicator Widget to remain hidden on the dashboard while still influencing the plugin's threshold comparisons.
CounterWidgetNames: Specify the names of the indicator widgets for which restrictions should be applied. Additionally, define the threshold for each widget.
Example: 'Responses Count': 5.
HideCounterWidgets: If set to true, indicator widgets with names mentioned in 'CounterWidgetNames' will be hidden on the dashboard. This ensures that viewers are unable to see the counter widgets.
UserGroupsToExclude: In situations where certain user groups, such as Admin or VPs, need to be exempted from limitations, list the relevant user groups as an array here.
ImageName: Specify the name of the image file to be displayed when a user over-filters. Ensure the file is copied into the plugin folder for seamless integration
