Data Bindings - Grid

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 data view, select the System icon from the menu and then scroll to the bottom and select Data Views:

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:

Note:
    • Only dataviews with defined dataview fields will be visible in this list.

    • 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. 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. Drag and drop the desired dataview fields to a container to the right, as demonstrated below:

    Below is a list of Data Binding containers for Grids:

    Container

    Description

    Column

    The Column container should contain all the columns from the dataview that you want to include in the grid.

    Hidden

    The Hidden container can be used if you want to use more columns from the dataview in the grid. For example, you want to sort the data in the grid by a column not added in the column container, then you add that column in the Hidden container and it will then be available in Field Sortings. Another example is if you want to filter the data by a column not added in the other containers, then that dataview column should be added to the hidden container and can then be filtered by in the Filters section.

    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 by selecting the corresponding icon:

    For more information, see Trace.

    Edit the field options by clicking on the fields in the containers in the right panel, as demonstrated below:

    The following options display:

    Setting

    Description

    Aggregation Type

    Select desired aggregation type for the measure columns (i.e  Sum, Average, Count, Max, Min). By default, the aggregation type is SUM and is shown in the Column container next to the column name (within brackets).

    Text Alignment

    Select the desired alignment of the text.

    Format Type

    Select format of the measure:

    • Fixed point - Show the exact value

    • Percent - Show values in percentage

    • Thousands - Show values in thousands

    • Millions - Show values in millions

    Precision

    Select precision of the measure (number of decimals (0-10)).

    Grouping Index

    To group data by the values of a given column, set the column's Grouping Index to a non-negative integer. If several columns are involved in grouping, the Grouping Index property specifies the grouping level. If set to 0, the column is at the root grouping level. Note that changing the Grouping Index value updates this property value for other columns involved in grouping.

    In the above example, we want to group the value per Product Line. We would then mark the Product Line column in the Column Container and change the grouping index to "1". The values in the grid will then be grouped by product line. If we want to add another grouping under Product Line, we could mark Product Group and change the grouping index to "2". Then, the data would first be grouped by Product Line and under each Product Line be grouped by Product Group.

    Summary Type

    Displays a summary row at the end of the grid for selected columns. Select desired sum type (Sum, Average, Count, Max, Min). If using grouping index, a total amount will also be visible for each grouping.

    Next to the Dataview drop-down there are two buttons:

    • Update the selected dataview.

    • Trace can be used as a tool for the Dashboard Designer and/or for troubleshooting purposes. For more information, see Trace.
