Components

Data Viewing

Use this area to specify the method to use to browse data:

• Fixed headers with scrolling content — Use this option to use scrolling as the method to browse data.

  When you select this option, the Maximum Width and Maximum Height fields are displayed in this dialog.

  A trellis that uses this method:

  • Keeps headers of rows and columns visible at all times.

  • Includes horizontal and vertical scroll bars.

  • May include Get more rows and Get more columns links to fetch more rows and columns of data, when the trellis has a large amount of data and the user scrolls to the bottom of the trellis.

• Content paging — Use this option to use paging controls as the method to browse data.

  When you select this option, the Paging Controls box and the Rows per Page field are displayed in this dialog.

Maximum Width

This field is available only if Fixed headers with scrolling content is selected.

Use this field to specify the maximum width of the trellis in pixels.

Maximum Height

This field is available only if Fixed headers with scrolling content is selected.

Use this field to specify the maximum height of the trellis in pixels.

Legend Location

Use this box to specify whether a legend is to be displayed and its location. Select one of the following options:

• None — Use this option to specify that no legend is to be displayed.

• Top — Use this option to display the legend at the top of the trellis canvas.

• Right — Use this option to display the legend to the right of the trellis canvas.

• Bottom — Use this option to display the legend at the bottom of the trellis canvas.

• Left — Use this option to display the legend to the left of the trellis canvas.

• Based on number of values — Use this option to specify that the legend is to be placed in the best position (left, right, top, or bottom) based on the number of values in the column and the space available.

Rows per Page

For an advanced trellis, this field is available only if Content paging is selected.

Use this field to enter the number of rows to display per page for the trellis. This setting affects the number of rows that are displayed with the First, Next, and Previous paging control buttons.

Listen to Master-Detail Events

Use this box to specify whether the trellis is to act as a detail view in a master-detail relationship and listen for master-detail events. If you select this box, then complete the Event Channels field.

For more information on master-detail relationships, see"What Is Master-Detail Linking of Views?"

Event Channels

This field is enabled only if you select the Listen to Master-Detail Events box.

Use this field to enter one or more channels on which the trellis is to listen for master-detail events raised by one or more master views. The channel name is case sensitive and must match exactly the channel name specified in the master view. Separate channels with commas, for example, channel a, channel b.

Visualization: Measure Tabs

Displays tabs that correspond to the measures (for example, Revenue and Billed Quantity) used in an advanced trellis. Click the tab of the measure for which you want to set visualization properties.

Graph Size

Use this box to set the size of the graph. Select one of the following options:

• Default (available for an advanced trellis only)

• Small (available for a simple trellis only)

• Medium (available for a simple trellis only)

• Large (available for a simple trellis only)

• Custom

  If you select this options, specify the size using the Width and Height fields.

Width

Use this field to enter the width of the graph in pixels.

Height

Use this field to enter the height of the graph in pixels.

NullValues

Use these check boxes to override null suppression set at the analysis level.

Include rows with only Null Values — Use this check box to include null values in a trellis when the entire row contains all null values. When selected, null values are not suppressed for rows in the trellis.

Include columns with only Null Values — Use this check box to include null values in a trellis when the entire column contains all null values. When selected, null values are not suppressed for columns in the trellis.

See "Understanding Null Suppression" for additional information.

Notes

• When a column is on the section edge, the trellis shows all sections and does not allow scrolling per section. Thus, both the Data Viewing and the Rows per Page components are ignored.
