While Analytics Generation is designed to handle a wide range of queries and scenarios, certain cases are currently not supported or only partially supported.
{#limitations-generating-dv__table_nzf_txn_zbc__entry__3}

| Query contents | Example | Limitation |
|-|-|-|
| Chart type | "Show me a line chart of open incidents for the last 3 months." | Only the following chart types are supported: * Scores: single score, dial, gauge * Bar: horizontal and vertical bars * Pie/donut * Time series: area, line, column, scatter, spline, step * Simple list {#limitations-generating-dv__ul_aj3_tyv_tcc} |
| Data source | "Show me open problems" | Only table data sources in the Task table hierarchy are supported. |
| Multiple Group By conditions | "Show me open incidents by group and state." | Analytics Generation will produce results, but only the first 'group by' clause (group) will be considered. The second 'group by' clause (state) will be ignored in the current output. |
| Multiple time periods | "Show me open incidents last week, month, and year." | Analytics Generation is currently unable to process queries that request data for multiple time periods simultaneously. Only one time period can be handled at a time. |
| Conflicting or complementary conditions | "Show me resolved and unresolved cases last week." | Analytics Generation detects only the first condition (resolved) under the state column. The second condition (unresolved) is misinterpreted and may be incorrectly mapped to another column or ignored. |
| Multiple data tables | "Show me high priority incidents, problems and changes" | Analytics Generation identifies only the first table and ignores the other ones. |
| Non-English queries | -- | Only English is supported |
| Technical dashboards | -- | Data visualizations can be added only to dashboards that are created in the inline editor. Technical dashboards are not supported. |
[Table 1. Unsupported queries]

## Possible ways to circumvent limitations {#limitations-generating-dv__section_krc_zyn_zbc}

* Simplify your queries by focusing on one 'group by' clause at a time.
* Specify a single time period per query.
* Avoid multiple conditions in a single query.
