Hi,
What is a good alternative to SmartFilter from okviz: https://okviz.com/smart-filter/?
I have a table of pharmacies. My goal is to have a user type the pharmacy name or pharmacy number into the visual and select a specific pharmacy, for example, "CVS 15". I then have a line plot (time vs amount of product a pharmacy has) that should get updated based on the user's selection. I'm trying to find an alternative to SmartFilter because while it gives me the functionality I need, it doesn't update my line plot. I've tried Microsoft textfilter as well but ignored it because it doesn't give a dropdown menu like SmartFilter does.
