The Explanations icon appears on queries that have AutoML Explanations applied to them from Discover. These explanations are generated in Discover when particular analysis calculations are applied to the query. These explanations can then be viewed downstream in presentations.
Auto-Explanations
Applying outlier, clustering, regression, forecasting, or fill blanks calculations to the query in Discover auto-generates an explanation in the Notes feature.
This explanation describes how the calculation was evaluated and which algorithm was used. It contains the calculation name, the query attributes, and the method use to calculate the results.
