  2. In alation_conf, set the feature flag:

alation_conf alation.feature_flags.enable_not_set_ui_filter -s False

Here is a portion of the search filter pane with ‘Not set’ filters showing:

You can also control whether the ‘Not Set’ filter is indexed in Alation search. Enable indexing of the Not set filter using alation_conf:

  1. Enter the Alation shell.

  2. In alation_conf, set the Enable Not Set Filter flag:

alation_conf alation.search.enable_not_set_filter_indexing -s True

  1. Restart the celery-beat component:

alation_supervisor restart celery:celery-beat

  1. To disable Not set indexing, re-set the flag as follows:

alation_conf alation.search.enable_not_set_filter_indexing -s False
