FieldDescription
NameThe name of the stream view.
Display TypeA number of chart types are available:
    • Grid: show stream data laid out in a table.
    • Pivot: show stream data laid out in a table, with data for values of one attribute broken out ('pivoted') into multiple columns.
    • Line Chart (category horizontal axis): plot line, or lines, representing quantities against a horizontal axis of 'categories'. The categories are printed along the horizontal axis, ordered alphanumerically.
    • Line Chart (numeric horizontal axis): plot line, or lines, representing quantities against a numerical horizontal axis.
    • Line Chart (times series horizontal axis): plot line, or lines, representing quantities against a date/time value - a stream attribute of type Date or Datetime.
    • Barchart: plot a quantity as a set of bars against a set of categories along the horizontal axis.
    • 3D Barchart: a 3D version of the standard barchart.
    • Stacked Barchart: a bar chart where multiple series/multiple attributes per category are displayed in a stacked form.
    • Pie Chart: show a quantity as a pie chart, grouped by a category.
    • Pie Chart: a 3D version of the standard pie chart.
    • Dial Chart: a red/amber/green chart showing a single value.

If display type is a chart and the user elects to output the chart to HTML (either via a File Exporter or from a chart, PhixFlow will output the chart to HTML as a picture (.PNG).

Excel Template

An excel template can be linked to the view to specify the format the chart data should be exported in.

The location that excel templates must be saved to is specified in the System Configuration.

Number of PeriodsNumber of processing periods from the stream to display on the chart. If a full set of data is generated in each period, then this will be 1. If the data is spread across processing periods in the stream - for example, each processing period only contains new data for that day, but we want to plot data across a number of days - then this number must be high enough to include all data of interest to show on a chart.
Background FilterAny filter on the stream can be selected as the background filter for this view. When the user opens this view the background filter is applied first and any other filter applied to the view (either specifically created/selected by the user or automatically applied as the default filter described above) acts in addition to the background filter.
Default FilterAny filter on the stream can be selected as the default filter for this view.
Default Sort OrderIf specified, the default order in which data should be displayed. See the Stream View Sort Order form.
All Users Can View DataIf checked, this specifies that all users can view this stream view by default (provided they have the basic privilege to view stream views). If this field is not checked, then access to the stream view is controlled by dropping user groups onto the stream's "User Groups" tab.
Default WidthThe default width of the Stream View. If empty, the View's width will be set to the system default value.
Default HeightThe default height of the Stream View. If empty, the View's height will be set to the system default value.
Form View

Check box to determine if this view is to be used as a Form View. When a user is entering or updating data using a form view, you can use the internal variable _form to use a value already entered in the form in the filter on a selection view. That is, the values that appear in a drop down list will be governed by values they have entered so far in the form. See selection view attributes for details of using selection views to create drop down lists.

Values governing the appearance of charts are configured in the Chart Layout tab.
