This section provides a checklist of what you can do to improve the Guided NLQ experience from the view level with business users in mind. After the checklist, each option is explained in more detail.

Checklist

  •  Limit fields for Guided NLQ
    Fewer fields keep Guided NLQ running quickly and aid users who may be bogged down by too many field choices.
  •  Understand filter value caching
    Guided NLQ is already fast, and the Load Filter Values gives you extra flexibility during configuration 
  •  Provide meaningful field names
    Descriptive field names help first-time users get started.
  •  Add plurals
    Adding a plural to a  field name ensures a more natural question flow for Guided NLQ users.
  •  Prepare intuitive calculated fields
    Consider creating calculated fields to help your users formulate simpler questions.
  •  Prepare non-continuous date fields
    Use date functions to create additional ways to analyze your data.
  •  Create popular focus areas
    Focus areas enable quick and simple refinement of complex data, saving users from writing long, complicated questions.
  •  Match user access to skill level
    Very complex views should only be given to users with a high degree of data skill and familiarity with the data sets — including NLQ access 
  •  Organise a date hierarchy
    Data aggregation results may differ if date hierarchies aren’t correctly set up.
