Filter Enhancements when using Looker Connector in Studio.

[mannybhatia]

Hello All,

Looker Studio is introducing the following filter enhancements to improve user experience with Looker Connector:

• Easier Filter Creation: When defining filter on charts, pages, or reports, editors can now select from a list of possible filter values, helping them understand their data and eliminating the need for manual entry, thus reducing errors. Filter suggestions are supported for all data connectors.
  
  
• Enhanced Looker Connector Integration: Editors using the Looker Connector will receive filter suggestions across all filter types when 'suggest_explore' and 'suggest_dimension' LookML attributes are defined in Looker dimensions, filter-only fields, and parameters.
  
• Expanded Control Filter Options: Editors using the Looker Connector can now use Looker filter-only fields and parameter fields to define control filters, providing a more seamless and integrated Looker experience.
  
  

Our priority is to make Studio the best BI tool to consume LookML and it is only possible by increasing Looker Connector adoption. These enhancements close the gap by allowing Studio users to add filter-only fields and parameters regardless of the filter type used in the Studio report.
