Data Bindings - Slicer
Related information: |
To get data into your dasharea, you need to select a Bizview dataview. Before you can select a dataview, you need to design one. To design a dataview, access SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION > Data Services > SETUP > Data Views in the Silverlight Client. For more information, see Data View.
Once you create a Bizview dataview, you can select the desired dataview from the drop-down in Data bindings in the right panel:
Only dataviews with defined dataview fields will be visible in this list. To define dataview field, navigate to the Silverlight Client.
If you have an existing dataview from an earlier version of Bizview, go to Data view Fields and save the dataview to make it visible in the Dashboard module.
All available dataview fields display in a list to the left of the right panel. Drag and drop the desired dataview fields to a container to the right.
You can scroll in the list if there are many dataview fields, and there is also a filter function where you can search by writing the name of the desired field.
Data binding containers:
Container | Description |
---|---|
Filter | The Filter container should contain a field from the dataview (not a measure marked with a Σ sign). |
Once you drag and drop the desired fields, the dasharea updates with the data you selected:
You can trace the bound data to view the actual data returned to the dasharea. For more information, see Trace.
Edit the field options by clicking on the fields in the containers in the right panel:
Additional options display if you click on the dataview field, depending on the type of the area (area type slicer in this example):
Setting | Description |
---|---|
Aggregation type | Select desired aggregation type (Sum, Average, Count, Max, Min). By default, the aggregation type is None for non measure fields. |
Next to the Dataview drop-down there are two buttons:
- Update the selected dataview (after changes made in the Silverlight Client, for example, after adding a field or creating a new dataview).
Trace can be used as a tool for the Dashboard Designer and/or for troubleshooting purposes. For more information, see Trace.
