Hi, I am interested in User Data Filters (https://www.gooddata.com/docs/cloud-native/3.7/workspaces/user-data-filters/). Does applying User Data Filters make it so you can't see values within columns, or does it remove the column from visibility or does it remove rows ?

Hi Alex, If we use your terminology, the User Data Filters (UDF) can remove particular rows within the specific columns. If we take the example from our documentation:

{
  "data": {
    "type": "userDataFilter",
    "id": "country",
    "attributes": {
      "maql": "{label/CUSTOMER_COUNTRY} = \"Canada\"",
      "title": "tenant filtered to Canada Only"
    },
    "relationships": {
      "user": {
        "data": {
          "id": "john.doe_tenant",
          "type": "user"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

The above UDF would make sure that the specific user “john.doe_tenant” would only see the value (row) Canada while using the CUSTOMER_COUNTRY attribute (column) in the analytics.

Yes, than you @Julius Kos! Is there any other way to filter what values can be seen in a column (i.e. nulling values) ? Or only row level?

@Alex Gertman not sure if I fully understand, could you please provide some example how should such filtering look like?
