Hi: We have need of a visual segment builder and a first glance suggests that it could fit well into Superset. Before I investigate further I wanted to gauge interest and see if this would be something that people felt was reasonable and would be welcomed.
Use Case: We have non-technical users who want to build sets of users (segments) from our data. They need to be able to take an existing table or query as a source and add complex, nested constraints on the where-level of SQL queries to define a segment. Given their level of technical expertise they need to have a visual interface where they will select columns and configure filters on those columns, and be able to nest those filters with ANDs and ORs and then save those segments. How this might fit in with Superset: Initially, I envision extending SQL Lab or adding a new feature that would function similarly to SQL Lab but with a visual UI to specify the query instead of entering SQL. Eventually, it might be nice to be able to associate segments into groups and expose a group as a filter for dashboards. Feedback that I'm looking for: -Is this a feature that belongs in Superset? -Is this a feature that fits in with the direction that the Superset team wants to go? -Would Superset's existing infrastructure simplify the implementation of this feature? Thank you! -- Kevin Postlewaite
