Table data options for pivot table visualizations

When you select a table data source for a pivot table visualization, the following Data configuration options are available.

Field	Description
Data
Data source	You have selected a Table data source in Create a pivot table data visualization in the Visualization Designer.
Metric
Label	Label of the metric. By default it is the same as the name of the data source.
Select an aggregation	Computational method for aggregating data. The default is Count, which displays the number of records selected. 주: If you select Count Distinct, only unique records are counted. For example, you want to generate a report with a distinct number of users who have one or more of the roles in a given list of roles. Users with more than one role would be counted twice unless you use Count Distinct.
Field	Field to apply the metric to, for Average, Sum, or Count Distinct aggregations. You may further be able to aggregate on fields from extended tables. The data is shown in a format that matches the field type. For example, if you select an integer field, such as the Priority field, the data is expressed as a number. If you select a duration field, such as Business duration on the Incident table, the aggregated data is expressed in days, hours, and minutes. If function fields were created in Report Designer for the table, they are available in the dropdown list. For more information, see Report on function fields.
Format values	Select to open the Formatting values dialog. For more information, see Value formatting in reports.
Group by
Select columns	The field whose values are each represented in a vertical column.
Max number of groups	Select the maximum number of groups to display. Groups in excess of this number, determined by sorting, are aggregated into the Others group. You can show that aggregate with the Show others option. By default, you cannot show more than 50 groups. If you have the admin role, you can change this limit in the par_viz.table_data.max_groups system property.
Show others	If Max number of groups is set and this option is turned on, an aggregate of the groups beyond the maximum number is displayed as the Others group.
Rows	Hierarchy of table fields with values displayed horizontally.
Field for <table>	The field to group by. For example, in an incident report grouped by Assignment group, all incidents that belong to Software, Service Desk, and Network are placed in separate groups. If the table contains variables or question fields, you have the option to group by one of them at the end of the list of fields. 주: It is not possible to group or stack data by the Tags field, or by certain field types, such as MEDIUMTEXT. If you want to group by a field with continuous values, such as date or integer, the values are automatically grouped according to any report ranges that are defined for the data. For more information, see Report ranges.
Show row total	Option to show a final column with the total of each row
Show column total	Option to show a final row with the total of each column
Show parent row totals	When you have a hierarchy of more than one field in the rows, this option shows the sub total of fields higher up the hierarchy.
Sorting
Sort by	Sorting options of the main and alternative groups set in Group by. Options include: Name: Sorts the values alphabetically by field or element name. Value: Sorts the values numerically or by count. Element order: If you are grouping by records on the Choice [sys_choice] table, either directly or through a breakdown, this option sorts the groups according to the value of the Sequence field. Group bucket: Sorts the elements by bucket group, when applicable. Only available for indicator data sources and when the breakdown used for the Group by is based on a bucket group. Report range: Sorts the table field values by range. Only available for table data sources and when the table field used for the Group by has a report range associated with it. 주: The choices of what to sort by are based on the main, default Group by, if one is defined. This sorting applies to any alternative group-bys if possible. If the sorting criterion selected for the main group-by cannot apply to an alternative group-by (such as sorting by Element order when the alternative group-by is not on the Choice table), sorting for that group-by defaults to Value. If no main Group by has been set, but alternative group-bys are defined, you can sort only by Name or Value. Sorting is not available for Pareto bar visualizations. Pareto charts are always sorted by value in descending order.
Sort by order	Ascending or descending.
Additional settings
Show 0 when no data is available	When toggled on, shows empty (NULL) values as zero (0). Default is true.
Data update
Follow filters	Follow filters set for a page. When enabled, the visualization displays on a workspace with the filters set by the page. Toggle off to disable a visualization from accepting any filter input.
Show filter icon	Option to show the filter icon and the number of filters impacting the visualization. If a filter is not selected to apply to a visualization, the icon does not show. Toggle off to hide the filter icon and number of filters applied.
Refresh after being away for X min.	Triggered when you navigate away from the dashboard that contains the data visualization to another page in the same workspace, includingPlatform Analytics experience. Sets how many minutes you will be on another page before the visualization automatically refreshes when you navigate back. Do not confuse this property with the Scheduled repetition setting on inline dashboards. This latter property refreshes the entire dashboard, and applies only while that dashboard is open.
Info messages
Set custom message when no data	Option to configure a custom message that displays when no data is returned.
Illustration	An illustration to include in the message.
Heading	Header text of the message that describes why no data was returned.
Heading level	Header text size for the message that describes why no data was returned.
Content	Secondary text of the message that provides additional detail.
Alignment	The alignment of the illustration and text in the message.
