Is it possible to apply sort and filter
Is it possible to apply sort and filter options programatically directly to a vizualization within an embedded liveboard?

Filters Yes: https://developers.thoughtspot.com/docs/runtime-filters
Sort Currently No. But seems like something we can introduce.
Runtime filters
Apply filters to visualizations at runtime and pass them as URL parameters
I want to target specific visualizations, in this case specific reports
If a feature request was put in, when is the soonest this would be possible?
I see, we do not have that support yet. You could embed individual vizs separately though as a workaround
My use case is that I have clients who want their own custom filter and sort optoins through embedded. Is there another way to do this without generating a liveboard for every individual customer?
They can of course change the sort and filter options, but I need those options to stick around when they've been modified.
Runtime filters is one way:
- you save runtime filters corresponding to each viz + user. And embed individual vizs with the runtime filters applied.
You could also use Personalized liveboard views https://docs.thoughtspot.com/cloud/latest/personalized-liveboard-views
Personalized Liveboards | ThoughtSpot Cloud
You can personalize Liveboards by applying filters that are persisted.
Personalized liveboard apply to the entire liveboard though, correct?
I need it per viz
viz embed with runtime filters seems like the way then
I considered runtime filters for individual viz and I think this will be how I need to go. Its just going to require a rewrite on the front end which is non ideal
We can put in a request for per viz runtime filters. But that would take some time to be delivered
What about sorting, is that possible?
I couldn't find any methods that allowed me to impose sort options on a visualization.
Sorting is not possible today, and there is no workaround. But this we can deliver sooner.
It would be helpful it you could create a support ticket.
I'll do that
