    • While data visualization generation is designed to handle a wide range of queries and scenarios, certain cases are not supported or only partially supported.

    Table 1. Unsupported queries
    Query contents Example Limitation
    Visualization type "Show me a heatmap of open incidents by creation date" Only the following visualization types are supported:
    • Scores: single score, dial, gauge
    • Bar: horizontal and vertical bars
    • Donut, pie, and semi-donut
    • Time series: area, line, column, scatter, spline, step
    • List
    Data source "Show me open asset contracts"

    Only table data sources listed in the Semantic Table Configuration table are supported. See Add a table to the semantic data layer.
    Multiple Group By conditions "Show me open incidents by group and state." Data visualization 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." Data visualization 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." Data visualization 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” Data visualization 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.
