Cross Filter Charts
Cross Filtering Charts is semi-supported in AdapTable.
Changing a Filter in AdapTable will update the Chart; however changing the chart will not update the Filter.
Note
This is a known issue and will be addressed in a future release
- Filter the Language and License columns and see the Charts update
- Note: Changing the Chart will not filter the Grid (at present)
UI Entitlements
The UI Entitlements behaviour for Charts is as expected for Full and Hidden Access Levels.
The ReadOnly Entitlement behaviour is that Charts will display, and users can create AG Grid charts, but will not be permitted to save them.
