Your Visual does not appear to filter outwards to other visuals

I am trying to develop a simple custom power bi visual which consists of 4 charts: bar chart, column chart, stacked bar chart and stacked column chart. I am trying to get it certified but I keep on getting this issue raised by the validators. Can somebody explain to me here what does this statement "Your Visual does not appear to filter outwards to other visuals" mean and how I can resolve it. I am also trying to add selection feature to my visual. I have made appropriate changes in the code as explained in the documentation for adding selection feature to my chart which uses category data view mapping but it still fails to interact with other charts. Can somebody explain what wrong I am doing here and how I can correct it. I am attaching the repo link here: https://github.com/imparthv/Multi-Charts-Custom-BI-Visual.

Thanks in advance.

Hi  @parthv ,

 

This means that your visual is not properly informing other visuals of any selections made, preventing cross-filtering.

You can check the link below:

Appreciate the response. However upon clicking into the links provided in the README.md it shows me 404 error. Looks like the page has been taken down. If you have any other sources which can help me then I would grateful.  I have referred selection code available in github repos for various custom visuals but that does not work. I have been trying to follow the documentation unfortunately the code provided for categorical data view mapping does not seem to work.
