Working with an individual attribute in Explore

From Explore, you can filter the values, select a different visualization, and display a details panel with additional options.

Filtering the attribute values

The Available Refinements panel allows you to filter attribute values by selecting specific values or ranges of values. The refinements are added to the Selected Refinements panel at the top of the page.

You can also use the individual visualizations to refine the data based on the attribute values.

Hiding attributes or marking attributes as favorite

You can flag attributes that you are particularly interested in, or hide those that have little value to you. If you hide an attribute or mark it as a favorite, then when exploring a data set from the Catalog, that attribute shows as favorite or hidden for all users who explore the data set outside of a project.

Displaying a different visualization for an attribute

In tile view, each attribute may have multiple visualization options. For example, for a numeric attribute, you might be able to switch between a histogram or a box plot.

If there are multiple visualization options, then to switch to a different visualization, use the paging arrows to the left and right of the attribute visualization.

Displaying the details panel for an attribute

When you click the attribute name on the attribute tile, the details panel for the attribute displays.

You can use the paging icons to the left and right of the details panel to page through the details panels for each attribute.

The panel includes options to:
  • Indicate the attribute is a favorite or hidden
  • Sort the attribute values
  • Add the attribute to the scratchpad

The details panel also contains the following tabs:

Tab Description
Overview tab Displays the attribute visualization, with a Summary Statistics section listing information about the attribute and its values.

Also displays thumbnails representing the available visualizations for the attribute.

To change to a different visualization, either use the paging icons to the left and right of the visualization, or click the visualization thumbnail.
Details tab Displays some details about the attribute, including:
  • Display name
  • Enrichments that were applied to the original values
  • Data type

It also displays the list of values for the attribute, sorted by relative frequency within the data sample.
