| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The name of the stream view. |
| Display Type | A number of chart types are available:
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 Periods | Number 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 Filter | Any 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 Filter | Any filter on the stream can be selected as the default filter for this view. |
| Default Sort Order | If specified, the default order in which data should be displayed. See the Stream View Sort Order form. |
| All Users Can View Data | If 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 Width | The default width of the Stream View. If empty, the View's width will be set to the system default value. |
| Default Height | The 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.

| Pivot Column Source | The pivot column source determines how the the values that are converted to Pivot Columns are generated:
If no labels are provided, they are derived from the pivot values using the formatting options set on the Column attribute. | ||||
| 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.
or
The expression can refer to any lookup pipe that is an input to the Stream being viewed. If no labels are provided, they are derived from the pivot values using the formatting options set on the Column attribute. | ||||
| Row Attributes | The row attributes will be displayed on the left of the view. | ||||
| 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. | ||||
Column attribute | Values in the Column Attribute are mapped to separate columns in the resulting view. The formatting options on the attribute (decimal places, date/time format) can be used to automatically generate column headers corresponding to Column Attribute values. | ||||
| Value Attribute | When the view is displayed, the value in this Value Attribute will be displayed in the column corresponding to the value in the Column Attribute. A Pivot View is not automatically grouped. To make this a grouped view, you should set the value attribute's aggregate function (e.g. to SUM). | ||||
| Label Attribute | If Pivot Column Source == View Data, this attribute provides the pivot column labels corresponding to the column values. In most cases, the number of values for the label attribute, should be exactly the same as the number of values for the column attribute. |
