Filtering and Interactions in Data Forensics

This topic describes how filtering and selections work in Data Forensics. Filters and selections propagate from top to bottom: a selection in the main table or in a panel affects all panels and widgets below it. Use that top-down propagation to narrow the scope of your investigation step by step.

How filter propagation works

Tip: Filters stack. You can narrow down results by interacting with multiple elements in sequence.

In Data Forensics, cascading works as follows:

  • Top-down filtering: Each panel is filtered by all the selections made in the panels above it.

  • Value selection in tables: Clicking on a value in a table widget filters all panels and widgets below it.

  • Widget-specific filters: Selecting a time range within a widget or panel applies that filter to all related visualizations.

Time Range Filters

Dragging across a time series chart within a panel lets you define a custom time window. All subordinate panels and widgets automatically update to reflect that time range.

Widget-Based Filtering Actions

Widgets support interactive options that trigger deeper analysis:

  • Time Series and Correlation charts respond to selected items in the parent table.

  • Drilldown opens a group-by selector and displays filtered results in a new table.

  • Response Time Composition shows breakdowns for the chosen item only.
