Cusstom Visual refresh dataset

Hello.

 

I have a custom visual with a slicer filter and an svg element with nodes and links(please see image below)

 

I have an onclick event in the circle, I have the selectionId for the element

selectionManager.select(d.selectionId);
 
I need to refresh the options.dataview[0], in order to refresh the data and refresh my svg element.
What do you recommend to have this functionality?
Is it possible to update the metric name slicer selected value? 
 
Please help, thank you.

Hello,

 

Sorry for the late answer.

I see that my colleague has already answered you by e-mail so, I will transfer his answer here.

 

"If you try to filter data in slicer, that works with metrics -- it's impossible.

Visuals can't filter data in slicer visuals by using SelectionID's.

 

You need to use Filter API:

"

hello,

 

I've apply a basic filter using this code:

 

//Apply a Basic filter
var basicFilter : IBasicFilter = {
target: {
table: "Dim_MetricRelationships",
column: "Metric Branch"
},
operator: "In",
//values: ['Excess M&S', 'PO Compliance - Inventory'],
values: Visual.metricList,
filterType: models.FilterType.Basic
};
this.host.applyJsonFilter(basicFilter, "general", "filter", FilterAction.merge);

How can I refresh the data based on this basicfilter?
Right now If I see values on options.dataViews[0] I only see data for one metric.
 
I need to be able to get the data based on this new filter.
 
Please let me know your comments. thank you!
