Mark attributes as environmental

Right now, Exist makes no distinction between attributes in a user’s control (like steps taken, productive time, etc.) and ones outside of that control (temperature, weather, etc.). Sometimes, correlations will show up on the trends page like “It’s raining or snowing when it’s a Thursday”, which is not super helpful for me, since I can’t control either of these.

It would be helpful if I could mark some of these variables as “environmental”. Then, Exist could refrain from checking any 2 environmental variables against each other. It would still check them against non-environmental variables (like productivity, etc.), but that’d prevent people from seeing these combos. In addition, it’d save your servers from having to compute a bunch of correlations it seems to currently check.

    *On the other hand, correlations like this can be funny when they randomly happen

    We do actually have something along these lines already, but without the ability for users to mark attributes as out of their control. Some combinations for correlations are also hidden by default. And of course you can always hide specific correlations from the web app if you like.
