Form: Stream View Attribute Details

This only applies Grid set width column grid column widths width Order
FieldDescription
Aggregate FunctionAn 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.
NameNameThe name of the selected stream attribute.
TypeThe type of the selected stream attribute. This is read only information here.
AliasThe display name of the selected stream attribute in the view, should you wish it to be different. This is particularly useful 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 WidthAggregate FunctionAn Aggregate Function is only selected when you are creating a Grid view (a table of data) and you have specified one or more other attributes in your view, by which the data can be grouped. If required, select an aggregate function from the drop down list.
Grid Default Width (pixels)This is only used when creating a Grid view - sets 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.
Width On Form (pixels)This is only used when creating a Form view - sets the width of the form field for this attribute. PhixFlow will create the form field with a default width - you only need to specify a value in this field if the width you want is different from this default.
Height On Form (pixels)This is only used when creating a Form view - sets the height of the form field for this attribute. PhixFlow will create the form field with a default height - you only need to specify a value in this field if the height you want is different from this default.
