Custom Chart Support for Cross-Visual Links and Filters
This applies to: Visual Data Discovery
The cmp-chart
CLI supports the ability to publish and subscribe to cross-visual links. To implement publish/subscribe cross-visual filtering for custom charts, use the CLI to edit your charts and enable the controls for publish and subscribe. See Part 4: Custom Chart Controls.
Note: Publish should only be enabled if the custom chart uses the context menu and filtering.
Cross-source links and same-source links are automatically populated and supported on the Cross-Visual Filtering tab of the Dashboard Interactions dialog for custom charts when they are added to a dashboard, in the following circumstances.
When a custom chart has the Filter option in its context menu, same-source links appear in the Published filters and Subscribed filters sections of the tab.
When a custom chart does not have the Filter option in its context menu, same-source links appear in the Subscribed filters section of the tab, but no Published filters section is shown.
When two custom charts using different data sources are added to the dashboard and a cross-source link is added between their data sources, the cross-source link appears in the Published filters section for the chart that can publish the link (the chart using the first data source in the cross-source link) only. However, the cross-source link appears in the Subscribed filters section for both charts.
