Creating Representations

Select a chart type or table representation from the value help.

In the analysis step gallery, the chart type is indicated by an icon and a label.

Depending on the chart type you chose, enter data such as the dimension for the x-axis and the legend, and the measure. Some chart types offer more fields, for example, the stacked column chart, or fewer fields, for example, the pie chart.

Ensure that all properties of drill-down dimensions that are selected for the step are also used in the representation for this step. Otherwise the data may not be displayed correctly.

You can define whether certain properties are applied to the data request and subsequently to the chart as sorting criteria. You can also specify the sorting direction (ascending or descending) for each property. If you don’t specify a sorting field, the data is displayed in the order provided by the OData service.

The texts that are displayed in the four corners of the thumbnail in the analysis path display. All of them are optional.

The fields are prefilled with the texts entered at step level, if applicable. When a text is entered or changed on representation level, this text takes precedence over the corresponding text entered at step level and is displayed at runtime. When you now again change the same text at step level, this change is not copied to the representation and also not reflected at runtime. This only applies to those representations where a change has been made on representation level.
