Published Cross-Visual JavaScript Message Structure

This applies to: Visual Data Discovery

All messages (cross-visual filters) that can be consumed by Symphony or that will be published by Symphony must conform to the following structure. The value of the type property defines the structure of the rest of the message.

The properties for the message (filter) structure are described in the following table:

Property	Description
type: 'selection'	Only a value of selection is supported at this time, identifying a selection of values on a visual or widget. This signifies that the message is a SelectionMessage. Type: string
valueType: 'NUMBER'	Identifies the type of value being selected. The following value types are supported: ATTRIBUTE - Use for string values NUMBER - Use for integer and floating point values TIME - Use for date and date-time values Type: string
ranges	An array of selected ranges. The set of allowed operations depends on the specified valueType. Currently only a single range is supported per message (filter). Ranges after the first range will be ignored. Ranges should be structured as follows: ranges: [ { operation: '<operation>', value: '<value>' }, ] The operation and value properties are described next. Type: array
