Elements in Breakdown - remove unused values

Kass3m

We created a word cloud and using country as a breakdown. this is showing all countries that are not even used in our cases like Afghanistan shows up alphabetically first. 

Is there a way to remove these values from the element lists in the breakdown which havenot been used on the cases at all?

On the widget, did you specify a breakdown but not an element?

@jeffrubinoff  this is what my widget screen looks like 

the element is grayed out.  Are you saying there is a way we can control the lifst of countries that show up?

I am saying that with that configuration on the widget, I would expect you to see *only* the unused element values. I do not know why the Element field is blanked out, but the first thing I would try in your case is to also clear the Breakdown field on the widget. Then if you don't like the results, I would experiment with the *Fields to analyze* field on the relevant Text Analytics record.

@Kass3m What @jeffrubinoff already suggest above is right and when you are trying to configure the Text > Word Cloud type Visualization, then its better to select the Element [it's a readonly field but an option exists to select from the Lookup] -- If you are trying to filter the element list for the breakdown then either use the filter provided in the lookup list or on the breakdown level [configuration] have element filter
