Visualizations → Listing Table

About a Listing Table Visualization

A Listing Table visualization offers a tabular view of your data at a granular level. After selecting the visualization in the Analyzer, you can configure various properties for measures, dimensions, filters, and settings for the Listing Table insight. Certain properties affect the types of interactions available to the Listing Table insight on a dashboard tab.

Configurable Properties of a Listing Table Insight in the Analyzer

The available trays for a Listing Table insight within the Insight panel are:

  • Grouping Dimension: Add a column or formula to this tray to group the Listing Table data.
  • Measure: Add a column or formula to this tray to include it as a column in the Listing Table.
  • Individual Filter: Add a column or formula to this tray to filter your Listing Table.
  • Distinct Filter: Add a column or formula to this tray to filter your Listing Table to show only distinct rows. This tray is available only when there is not a column or formula in the Grouping Dimension tray.
  • Sort By: Add a column or formula to this tray to sort the Listing Table. This tray is available only when there is not a column or formula in the Grouping Dimension tray.
Recommendation

If you need to group data in a table, it is recommended that you use an Aggregated Table visualization instead of a listing table grouping dimension for improved performance.

A column or formula in a tray is a Pill. Each pill has configurable properties. The parent tray determines the available properties of a pill. Select the arrow to the right of the pill name to view the Properties panel and set the pill properties.

Create a Listing Table Insight Visualization

For an existing dashboard, to create a Listing table visualization insight, follow these steps:

  • If not already open, open a dashboard.
  • To add a new insight to the dashboard, in the Action bar, select +.
  • If needed, in the Analyzer, in the Data panel, select Manage Dataset.
  • In the Manage Data Sets panel, select one or more business schema views and/or one or more physical schema tables.
  • To close the Manage Data Sets panel, select X or any other area of the Analyzer.
  • In the Insight panel, select V. Under Tables, select Listing Table.
Important

If the data in a column is Null, this can indicate a missing join, or joins in the wrong direction.

Save the Listing Table Insight as a Business View

You can save a listing table insight created from a physical schema as a Business View with the following steps:

  • In the Analyzer, in the Action bar, select V to the right of Save.
  • In the drop down menu, select Save as Business View…
  • In the Save as Business View… dialog:
    • Enter the View Name.
    • Optionally enter a View Description.

    • Select an existing business schema, or
    • Create a new schema by selecting New Business Schema in the bottom left corner of the dialog. In the Create Schema dialog, enter a business Schema Name and optional Description.
  • Select Save.
Important

This option is only available if you create a listing table insight from within a Schema by selecting Explore Data in the Action bar.

Listing Table Insight Example

Create a listing table that shows customer revenue by sales date and product for 2009.

In the Cluster Management Console (CMC), you can create a tenant that includes Sample Data. The Sample Data includes the SALES and date schemas. This example uses these two schemas.

  • In the Data panel, select Manage Dataset.
  • In the Manage Data Sets panel, in Tables, select the SALES and date schemas.
  • Close the Manage Data Sets panel.
  • In the Insight panel, under Tables, select Listing Table.
  • From the Data panel, drag and drop the following columns to the Measure tray:
    • Sales Date
    • First Name
    • Last Name
    • Product
    • Revenue
  • From the Data panel, drag and drop Sales Date, Last Name, and First Name to the Sort By tray, and sort each ascending.
  • From the Data panel, drag and drop Year to the Individual Filter tray. In the Filter panel,
    • For Operator, select In.
    • For Values, select 2009.

Edit the pill properties

  • Select the arrow to the right of Revenue to open the Properties panel.
    • For Format, select Dollar.
