When you have a very large set of data in a Visual Insight analysis, it can be easier to work with that data by grouping it into logical subsets, and viewing only one of the subsets at a time. For example, a grid in an analysis displays salary expenditures by Region, Manager, and Employee. You can place Region in the Page-by area and view the salary expenditures data by Manager and Employee, one region at a time. All the data from the analysis is still present, but it is grouped into smaller, more manageable sections.
Once you have added an attribute to the Page-by area, you can click an attribute element to use to group data, or hover the cursor over an attribute element in the Page-by area to quickly display the data as it would appear if the element was selected.
When you group data in an analysis, the grouping is applied to all visualizations in the analysis.
Steps are below to group and ungroup data, as well as to create an animation of the grouped data.
You must have the Web Visual Insight and Execute Document or Analysis privileges.
Do one of the following:
To group data by an attribute, perform the following steps:
From
the Dataset Objects panel, drag
and drop the attribute you want to use to group data to the Page-by
area. The elements of the attribute are automatically displayed
in the Page-by area.
Note: If the Page-by area is not displayed, from the
toolbar, click the Page By icon.
Hover the cursor over the name of the attribute in the Page-by area, then click the arrow icon to the right. A list of options is displayed.
By default, attribute elements in the Page-by area are displayed as selectable buttons on a button bar. You can change the style in which elements in the Page-by area are displayed. For example, you can choose to display the attribute elements as options in a drop-down list. The choices are:
Button Bar
Slider
Drop Down
To remove an attribute from the Page-by area, hover the cursor over the name of the attribute in the Page-by area, then click the arrow icon to the right and select Remove.
To replace the attribute in the Page-by area with another attribute from the Dataset Objects panel, hover the cursor over the name of the attribute in the Page-by area, then point to Replace with and select the attribute you want to group data by.
You can display an animation of the data, to cycle through a display of the data grouped by each attribute element in the Page-by area.
Do one of the following:
To show

area, click the Play icon .
