Dimension Tool
Use the Dimension tool within the configuration of other reporting tools, such as Score Charts, to define the possible values of the data in your report.
For example, a dimension of Gender would have the values:
Male,
Female, and
Unknown.
Procedure
- Open the
Dimension tool by clicking the Dimension icon from within a report, or dragging a new dimension from the Tool box into an existing report.
- Configure the following fields:
- Column name: Drag a column from the Data Explorer, or click into the field to enter or browse to the required column.
- Measure: Select the measure that will apply to this column. Measures are only available to select once they have been added to the current report.
- Sort: The sort field works in combination with the Measure field (described above). Where a measure is applied to a dimension, you can sort the column by the measure values in Ascending or Descending order, by selecting the required option from the drop-down menu.
- Display Nulls: Nulls are disabled by default. Select this check box if you want them to be displayed on the chart.
- Display Sub-totals: This setting does not apply to chart reports but can be used if a saved report configuration will be used with a grid.
- Included Values: Select values to include in the selection, separated by a carriage return. All values are included by default. Adding a single value to this field will effectively exclude all other values.
- Excluded Values: Select values to exclude from the selection, separated by a carriage return
- If you want to save the dimension as a template, right-click on it and select
Save as Template from the context menu.
- Continue configuring the report.
