I want to use field filters.
But, it seems metabase doesn't factor in synonyms to other database, within my current one.
We are using SQL Server
I am querying my synonyms pointing to our data warehouse. This is just 2 tables, containing mostly id's and information that we want to present in a dashboard.
The synonyms are on a snapshot of our main database, where the more detailed information is contained in. (I am querying from here)
And would like to put a field filter on a timestamp on one of those synonyms but it my field doesn't show up in the field filter field options.
I am already querying it, with an sql query so I am getting data from it, but the field filter doesn't seem to work.
Is this maybe a setting I can flick somewhere, or is this not yet implemented?
edit
This sadly also prevents me from using linked filters, because I am unable to define the relationship in the admin panel since the tables don't appear
There isn't anything going wrong per-se. I just need interface options I don't have.
SQL server has these synonyms to alias to a different database. But I don't see these tables in my admin panel. I see all my other tables in t1, but not the synonyms that point to the datawarehouse, t2.
FROM dwBdgtAdmnstrtn AS relation
LEFT JOIN rdLctn ON rdLctn.id = relation.lctn
LEFT JOIN crmRltnGrp ON crmRltnGrp.id = relation.rltnGrp
dwBdgtAdmnstrtn is the synonym. I am joining 2 tables from the database the synonyms are on. (t1)
rdLctn and crmRltnGrp
I need the admin options, because I need to define the relationship between these tables close so that I can use linked filters.
I want relation to influence the options in the dropdown for relationgroup. For that (to my knowledge) I need to define relationship correctly.
