Limitations to generating data visualizations

While Analytics Generation is designed to handle a wide range of queries and scenarios, certain cases are currently not supported or only partially supported.

Table 1. Unsupported queries

Query contents	Example	Limitation
Chart type	"Show me a line chart of open incidents for the last 3 months."	Only the following chart types are supported: Scores: single score, dial, gauge Bar: horizontal and vertical bars Pie/donut Time series: area, line, column, scatter, spline, step Simple list
Data source	"Show me open problems"	Only table data sources in the Task table hierarchy are supported.
Multiple Group By conditions	"Show me open incidents by group and state."	Analytics Generation will produce results, but only the first 'group by' clause (group) will be considered. The second 'group by' clause (state) will be ignored in the current output.
Multiple time periods	"Show me open incidents last week, month, and year."	Analytics Generation is currently unable to process queries that request data for multiple time periods simultaneously. Only one time period can be handled at a time.
Conflicting or complementary conditions	"Show me resolved and unresolved cases last week."	Analytics Generation detects only the first condition (resolved) under the state column. The second condition (unresolved) is misinterpreted and may be incorrectly mapped to another column or ignored.
Multiple data tables	“Show me high priority incidents, problems and changes”	Analytics Generation identifies only the first table and ignores the other ones.
Non-English queries	--	Only English is supported
Technical dashboards	--	Data visualizations can be added only to dashboards that are created in the inline editor. Technical dashboards are not supported.

Possible ways to circumvent limitations

• Simplify your queries by focusing on one 'group by' clause at a time.
• Specify a single time period per query.
• Avoid multiple conditions in a single query.
