Analytic table binding

You can use this binding wherever a traditional value ORD binding can be used.

You access this view of the Analytic Table Binding properties when you double-click the widget in the Px view.

Property Value Description
degradeBehavior Disable or None Specifies the framework’s behavior when the binding analytic ORD cannot be resolved or used due to security permissions.
data algorithm (or tag) name; data=algorithm or tag name Specifies the an algorithm (or tag) used to retrieve data.

The purpose of an alert is to detect a fault condition (Boolean value result). In most cases, you would pick an algorithm that has a Boolean result when configuring this property for an alert. Algorithms with a numeric or enum value greater than zero are considered true and less than zero are considered false.

This is how output from one algorithm becomes the input data source to another algorithm. The prefix for algorithms is alg:.

node ORD (defaults to a relative ORD slot, which is resolved against the config space to which the Px view is assigned) Defines the ORD to the desired slot.
dataFilter optional NEQL query (property) or ORD parameter (dataFilter=query) Identifies data sources in the subtree of the request node. When a predicate accepts a node that contains the desired data, the system does not search the node’s subtree for additional values (including the root node).
timeRange ORD parameter (defaults to Today) Defines the time period used to query historical data.

This property is required for rollup requests (analyticRollup), trends (analyticTrend), and rollup bindings. It is optional elsewhere.

It is not used if the block’s Use Request Time Range property is true and the request specifies a time range.

Options range from From to All.

interval optional drop-down list (defaults to the optimal number of records on reports); interval=option Refers to the BInterval component, which the framework uses to identify the time between values in a trend (time series). When specified, a rollup is required, which causes the system to combine all values that fall into a single interval.

Options range from None to a Year.

Above the drop-down list, the Use This Value check box turns on and off the check box next to Interval in the Settings window (you access this window by clicking the Edit button (Image), followed by clicking the Settings button (Image) on the chart). The availability of this check box provides an easy way for a user to enable and disable the use of intervals in chart calculations.

aggregation ORD parameter Configures the default function to apply when the analytic request needs to combine values from multiple data sources into a single value. This applies to both value and trend requests.

If aggregation is not enabled in the binding/settings window, the aggregation value defined in the Data Definition applies to all chart bindings, reports and tables.

And returns the logical “and” of Boolean values.

Avg returns the statistical mean, which is determined by calculating the sum of all values and dividing by the number of values.

Count returns the total number or quantity of values in a combination. If you request this value on a binding in a PX view, the system counts the number of values based on the properties defined by the data source block and the algorithm’s Property Sheet.

First returns the first value in the combination.

Last returns the last value in the combination.

Max returns the highest value in the combination.

Median returns the value in the middle of a sorted combination—the number that separates the higher half from the lower half.

Min returns the lowest value in the combination.

Mode returns the statistically most frequently occurring number in the combination.

Or returns the logical “or” of Boolean values.

Range returns the statistical difference between the largest and smallest values in the combination.

Sum adds together all values in the combination resulting in a single value.

Load Factor returns the average value divided by peak value.

Std Dev returns the standard deviation of the values in the combination.

rollup check box (if optional, and) drop-down list or ORD parameter (when configured in the data definition, defaults to First, when configured elsewhere, defaults to the value as defined in the Data Definition); rollup=option Configures the default function to apply when the analytic request needs to rollup records from a single data source into less granular records. This typically only applies to trend request, but may also apply to value requests where the Id is an algorithm that contains a block like Runtime or Sliding Window, which processes a trend request.

If rollup is not enabled in the binding/settings window, the rollup value configured in the Data Definition applies to all chart bindings, reports and tables.

And returns the logical “and” of Boolean values.

Avg returns the statistical mean, which is determined by calculating the sum of all values and dividing by the number of values.

Count returns the total number or quantity of values in a combination. If you request this value on a binding in a PX view, the system counts the number of values based on the properties defined by the data source block and the algorithm’s Property Sheet.

Or returns the logical “or” of Boolean values.

Range returns the statistical difference between the largest and smallest values in the combination.

Sum adds together all values in the combination resulting in a single value.

Std Dev calculates the standard deviation of the values in the combination.

Load Factor calculates the average divided by peak (Max) value.

unit unit=option (unit of measure) Selects the unit name and display symbol to associate with a data source.
daysOfWeek ORD scheme Specifies the days of the week to include.
totalize true (true) or false or hisTotEnabled=option (ORD scheme parameter) Turns on (true) and off (false) value accumulation.

By default, the framework totalizes (accumulates) all consumption history values in charts, tables and reports. To prevent cumulative values, disable this property (set it to false).

missingDataStrategy additional properties Configures how the framework handles missing data in a series when processing analytic requests and one or more records are missing for an interval. It applies when even a single record for an interval is missing. It does not apply to value requests.
refreshRate hours minutes seconds Determines how frequently the framework resolves the analytic request to provide updated data to the widget.
