Data Filters - No available filter to display

[KarelDsmt]

Context: First time using aequos, trying to filter data from different SP lists on 'Account' field (using SharePoint Search as data source).

The Data Filter webpart returns 'No available filter to display.' even though the items in the Data Visualizer return values for this field.
What am I doing wrong?

Hi @KarelDsmt,

Thank you for using MDV and thank you for your question.
Based on your screenshots, it seems you are using SharePoint DataSources - The filters (except for taxonomy) are based on the results of the visualizer.
Some OOTB metadata can be used by default as refiner, and in the case of custom metadata such as your Account one, you need to configure your SharePoint Search schema to be able to use this metadata as refiner:

• https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/manage-search-schema#refine-on-managed-properties

Once configured, you can add it to the selected properties and configure the filters to use it.

Hoping this information will help you 🙂
