FieldDescription
Pivot Column Source

This controls how the field given the role Pivot Column will be used to generate columns in the pivot table. Choose from one of:

  • View Data - the pivot columns are generate directly from the data in the Pivot Column field. If a field has been given the role Pivot Label, the label values corresponding to values in theĀ Pivot Column field will be used as pivot column headers. The is the simplest way to generate the pivot columns, but does not allow any control of the order of values, or the ability to handle missing values e.g. when generating standard reports
  • Expression - the pivot column values are the result of an expression.

Pivot Column Expr

If Pivot Column Source == Expression, this expression must return either a list of values or a list of pairs of values (the values and corresponding labels). E.g.

Code Block
['20150101', '20150201', '20150301']

HELPDEVTODO: how does these map to values in the Pivot Column attribute? Ask GP

or

Code Block
[['20150101', 'January 2015'], ['20150201', 'February 2015'], ['20150301', 'March 2015']]

The expression can refer to any lookup pipe that is an input to the parent stream of the view.

If no labels are provided, the values returned are formatted based on the formatting rules of the Pivot Column field.

Maximum Pivot Columns

This is the maximum number of pivot columns that can be displayed. If this is blank, the system-wide default in System Configuration is used.

Charts

...

The following fields only apply for charts of type Line Chart (time). These apply to the horizontal axis, which in this case is a time series:

FieldDescription
Primary Axis UnitUnits for date display along the horizontal axis. Choose a value from the drop down list. Note, however, that only as many values will be displayed as can comfortably be fitted in the space available.
Primary Axis FormatChoose a format to display dates along the primary horizontal axis.
Secondary Axis UnitUnits for an optional, second date display along the horizontal axis. This might be used, for example, to create a graph where the months are shown along the primary horizontal axis (Primary Axis Unit = 'Month', Primary Axis Format = 'Jan, Feb') and the years are shown along a line below this, along the secondary horizontal axis (Secondary Axis Unit = 'Year', Secondary Axis Format = 'Four digit year').
Secondary Axis FormatChoose a format to display dates along the secondary horizontal axis, if this is being used.

Dial charts

HELPDEVTODO: dial charts no in form at all

The following fields apply only to dial charts:

FieldDescription
Major Tick IncrementThe incremental values at which major tick marks should be shown. Do not set too low for the minimum/maximum values specified otherwise there will be too many major ticks.
Minor Tick CountThe number of tick marks between each major tick.
First Band ColourThe colour of the first segment on the three coloured arc indicating different regions of the dial.
Second Band ColourThe colour of the second segment on the three coloured arc indicating different regions of the dial.
Third Band ColourThe colour of the third segment on the three coloured arc indicating different regions of the dial.
First Threshold ValueThe value at which the first band colour changes to the second band colour.
Second Threshold ValueThe value at which the second band colour changes to the third band colour.
Dial StyleArc or Circular.

Chart attributes

The best way to configure the chart attributes is to add it to a dashboard, and then use the graphical chart builder in design mode to set the attributes to create the chart you need.
