The data preview feature is designed to give you a quick, insightful glimpse into the structure and appearance of your data, helping you visualize and plan effectively.

To ensure a smooth and responsive experience, it's best to keep filter criteria concise and focused.

If you encounter a message like "Communication error: 431 error" (a shorthand for 431 - Request Header Fields Too Large), it's simply an indicator that the filter details are quite extensive.

In such cases, refining or streamlining your criteria can help maintain efficiency and deliver the preview seamlessly.

Use and alternative approach and avoid the usage of a too descriptive filter like the alternative options below:

• Intervals (between, less than, less than or equal to, greater than, greater than or equal to) or
  
• Exclude option

E.g.

• help.sap.com - Viewing Object Data
• help.sap.com - Creating a Graphical View
• help.sap.com - Creating an SQL View
