Description |
Data
table |
Specifies the data table on which the visualization will work. |
Marking |
Specifies the marking (that is, the color and relationships to other marked items) that will be used to mark items in this visualization. |
Data
limiting |
Settings used for limiting the data shown in this visualization. |
Lists the available markings that can be used to limit what is shown in the visualization. This means that the visualization only shows data that has been marked in other visualizations or has been marked within the visualization itself (master visualizations). If more than one marking is selected, you can choose how the data in the markings should be combined. Tip: You can specify what should be shown in the visualization if no items have been marked in the master visualizations. See the If no items are marked in the master visualizations, show drop-down list below. To be able to mark data, and show it within the visualization itself, the All data option should be selected in this list. See What is a Details Visualization? to learn more about how you can use master-details visualizations to drill down into your data. |
|
New |
Opens the New Marking dialog where you can specify a new marking. The color and name of a previously created marking is edited in the Document Properties dialog. |
Rows must be included in |
Specifies how the data in the markings should be combined if you have selected to limit the data by more than one marking. |
All markings
(AND) |
Use this option if you want this visualization to show the intersection of the markings selected in Limit data using markings. This can be used if you have two visualizations with different markings and want to see which markers are present in both markings. This visualization will then show only the data that has been marked using both of the selected markings. |
Any marking
(OR) |
Use this option if you want this visualization to show the union of the markings selected in Limit data using markings. This can be used if you have two visualizations with different markings and want to see which markers are present in either of the two markings. This visualization will then show data that has been marked using either of the selected markings. |
This setting is applicable if this visualization is set up as a details visualization where the marking in one or more master visualizations decides what will be shown. It allows you to specify what this visualization should show when no items have been marked in its master visualizations. See Limit data using markings to identify which markings have been set to limit the data in this visualization. See When no items are marked in the master visualizations for examples of the different options. |
|
All
data |
Use this option if you want this visualization to show all the data from the master visualizations that control the content, if no items have been marked in those visualizations. |
Empty
visualization |
Use this option to display only the column headers if no items have been marked in the master visualizations. |
Message
on empty background |
Use this option if you want to display a message if no items have been marked in the master visualizations. For example, you may want to write a text letting anyone using the analysis know which visualizations are the master visualizations that control the content of this visualization. |
Limit data using filterings |
Defines how different filtering schemes in the analysis should affect this visualization. Select Use the current filtering from the page if you want the visualization to always utilize the filtering scheme that is used on the page where the visualization is located. If you move the visualization to a new page, then the visualization will automatically start reacting on the filtering scheme that is used on the new page. Select a specific filtering scheme from the list if you want the visualization to always use that filtering scheme. Moving the visualization to another page with a different filtering scheme will not affect this setting. If you select to limit data using more than one filtering scheme, the intersection of the filterings will be used. This means that the visualization will show only the data that is made visible by all of the filtering schemes. |
New |
Opens the New Filtering Scheme dialog where you can specify a new filtering scheme. The color and name of a previously created filtering scheme is edited in the Document Properties dialog. |
Limit data using expression |
You can limit what data should be available for a certain visualization using an expression. If you have defined a limiting expression, it will be displayed here. |
Edit |
Opens the Limit Data Using Expression dialog where you can define a boolean expression to use for limiting the data in this visualization. |
Limit
streaming data to a time range |
[This option is available if the visualization is configured with a data table containing streaming data.] Select this check box to show data from a limited time window. The time range could be very short, for example containing data from the last 5 seconds, or much longer, for example containing data from the last week or month. |
Column |
Select the column you want to use to limit the data in the visualization. Columns containing values of the data type DateTime are available for selection. |
Limit
to |
Select a number and a time unit for the time range. |
More |
Click More to open the Define Time Range dialog, where you can fine-tune the time range by specifying the starting point and end point separately. |
