To add chart-based visual filters to SAP Fiori Elements, configure a CAP or ABAP RAP backend with UI.Chart annotations, presentation variants, and value list definitions. You must connect the chart to the filter dimension using a consistent qualifier across the chart, value list, and manifest.

A visual filter in SAP Fiori is a chart-based filtering mechanism for filter bars and value help dialogs. It works by linking a chart dimension to a filter field using backend aggregation, UI.Chart annotations, and a shared qualifier to drive interactive data exploration.

Yes, you can implement visual filters using both CAP and ABAP RAP backends. The implementation applies to enterprise data models using CDS views, requiring you to set up backend aggregation and apply the correct annotations and qualifiers for the selected framework.

Configuring Fiori visual filters requires UI.Chart annotations for bar or line charts, presentation variants for display variations, and value list definitions with selection fields. You also need a consistent qualifier shared across the chart, value list, and manifest.

Fiori visual filters fail when backend aggregation is missing or the qualifier is inconsistent across the chart, value list, and manifest. Verify that your CDS view in CAP or ABAP RAP supports the required aggregation and that all annotation qualifiers match exactly.
