Introduction:

Dashboard widgets are a powerful tool for visualizing data and gaining insights into your metrics and key performance indicators. However, you might encounter a scenario where some widgets display the message "No data based on your criteria. Please review your filters."

In this article, we'll explore why this happens and how it's typically linked to the time period you've chosen for filtering or there is just no data populating based on your filters.

Example of a widget with the message:

1. No Data for the Selected Time Period:

The most common reason you see "No data based on your criteria. Please review your filters." in a widget is that the data source you're querying simply doesn't contain information for the time period you've selected. This could mean you've selected a future date or a media activity hasn't taken place yet.

2. Data Flow:

"Data Flow" refers to the continuous or periodic movement of data from its source to your analytics system.

  • Filter Criteria: Verify that the filter criteria you've applied align with the data that should be available. If the filter is too specific, it might not match any incoming data. In some cases, your data may not be classified according to your filters.

  • Data Source: Ensure that your data sources are actively collecting and transmitting data.

3. Board Criteria:

Board Criteria allows users to apply and adjust Filter Criteria in all Widgets on a Board.

However, there are instances where you will get the message "No data based on your criteria. Please review your filters." after applying a Board Criteria.

  • When there is no data to be reflected with the filter applied.

  • The filters within the widget or advanced metrics do not align with the Board Criteria Filters.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, encountering the "No data based on your criteria. Please review your filters." message in your dashboard widgets can be related to both the time period you've chosen for filtering, if the data is classified according to the filters or the availability of data for the selected filter. This message is not indicative of a problem with the widget itself but rather a reflection of the data's availability for the chosen criteria.
