FieldDescription
Aggregate FunctionAn aggregate function Aggregate Function is only selected when you are creating a Grid view (a table of data) and you have specified one or more attributes with Group By role (see below). If required, select an aggregate function from the drop down list.
AttributeSelect one of the stream attributes from the stream.
NameThis only applies if you specify an Aggregate Function. If you want to give the value that is generated by the aggregate function a different name from the original attribute name, specify it here. By default, the aggregated value will be given the same name as the original attribute. For example, if you are going to display the average age of debt, by applying the aggregate function Average on the attribute Debt Age, you may want to call this Avg Debt Age on the chart.
RoleSelect a role for the attribute:
  • Data Point: plot the data in the attribute. Any number of fields can be selected as data points, other than those used in other roles. For a Grid, all selected attributes must be data points.
  • Horizontal Axis Attribute: use the data in the attribute as the horizontal axis.
  • Horizontal Axis Label: display the values in the attribute along the horizontal axis. This is useful when you need to use one attribute to build the chart (specified as the Horizontal Axis Attribute) but one of the other attributes contains a value which is more meaningful to users when displayed on the horizontal axis.
  • Series: display a line on the chart for every value found. This is commonly used to represent some grouping value of the data. For example, in a chart displaying number of calls against date, if the stream also contains the Service (e.g. PSTN, Mobile, VOIP) then this can be used as a series to show separate lines on the chart for each of the services.
Default Chart WidthThis is only used when creating a Grid view - set the width of the column for this attribute. PhixFlow will create the grid with default column widths - you only need to specify a value in this field if the width you want is different from this default.
OrderThis is only important when creating a Grid view - the position that the attribute will be shown in the grid.
