18 - Preparing Your Metrics: Flights Per State

This content is also available at learn.palantir.com ↗ and is presented here for accessibility purposes.

You want to add two metrics:

  1. Number of departing flights from selected states — we’ll need an object set of departing flights linked to airports in the highlighted state(s).
  2. The number of flight alerts in selected states — due to Search Around limitations (you cannot perform Search Around operations on object sets of > 100,000 objects) we’ll need to construct a connected set of filters and variables to obtain this value.

The next two tasks will be devoted to creating the elements needed for metric #1.

🔨 Task Instructions

  1. Click on the Variables panel on the left side of the screen. When the window opens, click ➕ button to the right of the Variables header.
  2. Choose Object set and then Object set definition.
  3. Rename the variable to [o] Flights in Selected State and set the starting object set to [o] Filtered Airports for Map.
  4. Click (x) Filter using variable and choose [f] Map State Selection.
  5. Click the Get linked objects button choose [Example Data] Flight, making sure to choose the one that lists [Example Data] Departing Flight underneath.
