NOTE. Click the Select Data Model button in the central part of the control panel if no data source was added.

The Select Object dialog box opens:

To set up displaying of repository objects in the Select Object dialog box, in the drop-down menu of the Show Object button select one of the display options:

Name and Identifier.

Select the required repository object in the repository object tree.

To quickly search for the required source by name, use search. Enter the text to be searched in the search string. Search is executed automatically as the searched text is entered into the search string. The list will display only the data sources, which names contain the entered text.

To reset search results, click the Clear button.

Click the Apply button.

After the data source is added, it is displayed in the list of dimensions on the control panel. Panel appearance depends on the selected data source:

Data model Standard cube

If a data model is selected as a data source, to set up data visualization, use the Dimensions area on the control panel:

If a standard cube is selected as a data source, to set up data visualization, use the Dimensions area on the control panel:

A cube can be located in the object navigator, in the objects: Container, Business Application and Component.
If parameters are set up for the cube, one can set data source parameter values and set up links with information panel parameters.
If display versions are set up for the cube, the Source drop-down list at the top of the control panel displays all available data sets of the selected cube. By default, the display version is used, which was set as a default one during cube setup.

To change data source's display version, select display version name in the Sources drop-down menu list and confirm the operation in the confirmation dialog box. As a result, the list of dimensions is refreshed according to cube display version settings for all visualizers built on this data source. The selected display version is saved together with the information panel.

If alternative hierarchy based on attributes is set up for one or several cube dimensions, the control panel displays the dictionaries by configured attributes for this dimension. The Attribute Name name is displayed by default for dimensions with hierarchy based on attributes.

Dimensions with hierarchy based on dictionary attributes can be used as additional dimensions to set up data visualization. After the hierarchy based on dictionary attributes is applied, the dimension is aggregated, elements that are equal by attribute are combined into one element.

To resize the panel:

Hover the cursor:

On the border between the Dimensions and Facts areas on the control panel.
On the right border of the control panel.

The mouse cursor changes to the two-headed arrow.

Hold down the mouse button and move the border to the required position.
