Chart Viewer

The charts generated by stream views are presented in the chart viewer. Certain kinds of chart can also be generated ad-hoc, for example, to view the contents of a stream set from a stream set form, a Data Grid is produced.

Chart type: Data Grid

A Data Grid is a simple chart type, displaying the data in a table format.

Details for an individual Stream Item can be viewed by double clicking on a row and selecting Show Stream Item Details from the context menu. This bring up the Stream Item Form with details of the Stream Item selected.

You can "drill down" into the data that was used to generate an item on the Data Grid by right clicking on a row, and selecting Drill Down from the context menu. This will open the Drill Down view for this Stream Item.

Colouring grid rows

The colours of particular rows can be customized by creating a Stream View Attribute called 'gridRowColour'. The value of this attribute should evaluate to either a hexadecimal value representing a colour or to the lower case name of one of the basic HTML colours. Visit www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_colorpicker.asp to see how hexadecimal values correspond to real colours.
The table below lists the basic HTML colour names:

AquaBlackBlueFuchsia
GrayGreenLimeMaroon
NavyOlivePurpleRed
SilverTealWhiteYellow

It is advised not to use dark colours as they may cause the grid data to be hardly visible.

Form Icons

The form provides the standard grid icons.

The form also provides the following icons:

Shows a list of any Stream Actions associated with the Stream View. The user may select one of these actions e.g. to update specific data on the grid.

Refresh the chart.

Select an existing (or predefined) Filter or create, delete and modify Filters. This causes the chart to refresh and display only those entries which match the selected Filter.

Select an existing (or predefined) multi-column Sort Order or create, delete and modify Sort Orders. Note that data is ordered across all records which are implied by the Filter, not just the current page of data.

Pressing this icon toggles the display of other standard icons and the additional icons below.

Displays summary details of the Stream View.

Displays detail common to Dashboard Elements. This icon is only displayed when a Stream View is added to a Dashboard.

Modifies selected items displayed in the Chart. When this button is pressed, a form containing all fields in the Chart will appear. If a value is entered into any of these fields, the value will be applied to all items displayed.

Exports the data currently being viewed in the grid using a Database Exporter or a File Exporter. The user can select an exporter from the list of Database and File Exporters attached to the underlying stream.

Note that this will export all data, not just the current paged result. However, any filters on the pipe connecting the stream to the Database or File Exporter selected will be applied, so not all records displayed in the Chart may be exported - some may be filtered out in the pipe.

Shows Alarms associated with this Chart.

Shows the configuration of the underlying Stream.

Opens the download data form allowing the user to export just the selected items or all data on the chart as either an Excel file, a CSV (comma separated) file or as an HTML document.

Shows the list of Stream Views.
