10 - Basic Searching: Filtering with Linked Objects

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

So far, we've been filtering our searches based on the properties of the [Example Data] Aircraft object type. You can also filter on the properties of objects linked to this one in the ontology. Imagine we want to explore Frontier Airlines aircraft that were involved in delays > 60 minutes.

ℹ️ To preserve performance, you are unable to filter on properties of linked objects if your starting object set is larger than 100k objects.

🔨 Task Instructions

  1. Click into the search bar at the top of the screen to apply another filter.

  2. This time, locate and click on the [Example Data] Flight Delay Event object type in the property selector window.

  3. Choose the Dep Delay property.

  4. Since this is a numeric property, a distribution chart appears to facilitate your filter parameters. Type 60 into the min value field to indicate you only want delays greater than 60 minutes.

    • Once again, all of the charts in the main window update per your filters. Your search bar should now resemble the image below.
