Hi ,

I have a searching filter on my dashboard for user to search the data for a specific name, how can i implement auto-suggest ? and does it have limits if data set is too large ?

Do we have a feature like ’ Auto Complete’?

Hi @izzycs ,

So if you have a control that is connected to a specific field in your dataset, it should populate on its own with the values in your selected field. Here is an example of what it should look like:

However, I have noticed that there is a limit on how many fields it will populate. Upon further research, I think the limit seems to potentially be 1000 values. Therefore, if your field has anything over 1000 values, then the list will not show any value and you have to utilize the search bar.

Hope this helps!

I believe you are correct not seeing this issue with smaller datasets but with larger data sets i experience this issue

Hi @izzycs ,

Yes so for any fields that has greater than 1000 values then the search bar will automatically appear and not show any of the field values. This is a setting that cannot be changed when working in Quick Sight. Depending on your scenario, you can utilize the ‘show relevant values’ option and that can potentially reduce your field to below the 1000 value threshold. Something else you can do is attach a table visual to your analyses and apply a filter action to it. That way, you almost have a makeshift control, and it shows all of your values.

Hope this helps!
