Data Properties can be used to consolidate data fields and their aggregations from one or more datasets to power the visual, effectively providing it with the necessary structure and form.
In ViewZen Analytics, different styles are employed to link data with various visuals
Dimensions and Measures
Data can be added to a visual by selecting the appropriate field (expand the Dataset Utility) and dragging it into the relevant area of the data properties zone (i.e., Dimensions, Measures, X-axis, Y-axis, Column)
Two types of modifications can be made to the data associated with a visual
Change the data field itself - The data column associated with a visual can be changed either by
Deleting the existing column and adding the new column.
Clicking the column dropdown and selecting a new column.
Change the position of the data field - The position of a data field can be changed by holding the drag handle, dragging and dropping it into the desired location.
The label of a data field can be edited by double-clicking on it, making the label editable. After making changes, click the checkmark to save the modifications.
A numeric field can be directly used as a dimension by creating standard (equal-sized) bins as categories.
Date fields can be directly used as dimensions by extracting meaningful attributes such as year, month, week, or day.
