Highlighting Data in Dimension Elements

Foresight Analytics Platform enables the user to highlight data for dimension elements when the express report or regular report use data source with enabled caching.

Data highlighting is designed to display dimension elements, for which there is data.

To enable data highlighting in dimensions:

  1. Enable data caching in the source.

  2. Basing on the source with caching create express report or regular report.

  3. Select the Enable Highlighting checkbox on the Data tab of the Source group of tabs on the side panel:

The tab contains the following options:

After executing the actions in the Selection group of tabs, highlighting of elements in the dimensions will be enabled:

All elements, no matter whether there are data about them will be specified in dimensions. Elements with data are highlighted in black and elements without data are highlighted with grey.

NOTE. If data aggregation is set up in the data source, the parent element without data will be highlighted with black if the child element contains data.

After the data highlighting by elements is enabled, only elements with data will be available for selection. To select elements with data, select the Advanced Selection > Select with Data item:

As a result only the elements with data will be selected. Parent elements are selected in any case, independently whether there is data in it, if there is data in child elements.
