I have a kind of love-hate relationship with this. No question that it is a very useful tool. But each time I try to use it, I end up very frustrated and not wanting to use it again. My sense is that the difficulties I encounter are endemic to the tool itself (Tableau). As several people have mentioned, it would be very nice if it were possible to make selections for multiple filters and for all of them to be applied via a single user action (click) done by the user only after making all filter selections. This would be less of an annoyance if the response time for the individual filters to have effect were a lot quicker, but it is slow of course, which makes the way the tool was designed very annoying. I don't have any particular knowledge of tools of this type; as far as I know this is the only game in town and I am pissing into the wind so to speak. But if there are alternative tools and if they are different in this one respect, this would be for me a strong reason to use another tool that is more smartly designed in this respect. By the way I forget to mention that I am the very worst person in the entire world when it comes to offering constructive feedback in a manner that makes me seem like a reasonable person. I am aware, fully, that people have put a lot of hard work into this, for no personal reward. I wish that being aware of this were enough to make me behave like a reasonable person.
There seems to be a timer that after some number of minutes forces a refresh. I am certain that at certain times in the not-too-distant past, this resulted in the clearing/loss of some of the filters I had set, which force me to start over with setting the filters, which meant that I got to repeat the experience with the way the individual filters are applied individually and slowly return results that are not useful because the filters aren't yet complete.
I still have not figured out exactly how to find the link to the review page. Up until this moment I've been hesitant to mention this because I assumed that it was obvious to everyone else and that if I mentioned this, everyone would know I'm stupid, in addition to being an asshole. Secondary-click seems not to be used at all, which is another annoyance for me. If I primary-click on "Review and Measurements", I get a message in the URL field at the top of the browser, "Pop-up Window Blocked". I suppose this is due to my having blocked pop-up windows because they are generally a nuisance. In spite of the message the pop-up window pops up, which is every bit as odd as the warning message that appears in the URL field. Once "Review and Measurements" has been highlighted, the pop-up reactivates if the mouse cursor is moved back to that spot (after having moved it away). This isn't a big deal, but it does strike me as something done by someone who was trying very hard to be clever and not trying very hard to make something that would be intuitive and simple to use. Within the popup, the link to the manufacturer's page for the product is found. Secondary-click does not function on this link. Once the manufacturer's page has been opened (in another tab in my browser because I have my browser configured to open new pages in new tabs), if I then primary-click on "Review and Measurements", the review page on ASR now opens (in another tab, for me). Yet, this isn't a consistent behavior. Sometimes the first instance of primary-clicking on "Review and Measurements" will cause the review page to open, instead of cause the pop-up to appear. Other times, double-primary-clicking on "Review and Measurements" has this effect. My sense is that this seemingly non-deterministic behavior is likely endemic to the tool (Tableau).
On the other hand, maybe someone will point out whatever it is that I'm not doing right, and I'll end up having to apologize and to repeat my a priori acknowledgement of being a complete asshole.
