Analytics Grids

Overview

Analytic Grids expand on the Quicklist reports available in the core Digital.ai Agility application. In addition to Quicklist features such as customization, filtering, sorting, and exporting; Analytic Grids give you the ability to group data and aggregate values and provides support for charts and cross tabulation tables. Finally, grid configuration can be saved and shared across the organization.

Customizing Data Presentation

The following sections describe the controls used to customize how data is presented.

Formula	Allows you to add a custom column to the grid that is based on a formula. The Column Name is specified in the Name field and the Formula is specified in the Formula field. Use the "Insert a column" dropdown along with the "Insert" button to add columns to the formula. The "Data Type" and "Display Format" are used to control how the data is presented. Additional information on supported formula is available on the Formula Help page.
Filter	Allows you to filter the data visible in the grid.
Add Chart	Allows you to add charts to the grid page. Once you select a chart type, you are prompted for the data elements to include. Charts are added below the table by default, but can be moved to the top.
Add Crosstab	Allows you to add a cross tabulation, or pivot, table to the page. Crosstab tables are always positioned below the grids.
Table	The Layout configuration panel allows you to show and hide columns on grid. The column order is changed by dragging the column headers. You do not open the Layout Panel to change column order. Columns Sort Allows you change how the data is sorted in the grid. Group Allows you to control how the grid data is grouped. Aggregate Allows you aggregate the grouped data. The Aggregate functions available are: Sum, Average, Standard Deviation, Count, Distinct Count, Minimum, Maximum. Paging Allows you to enable/disable paging and determine the number of rows on a page. Paging is enabled by default and the default rows per page is 20.

Backlog Matrix

The Backlog Matrix presents a multidimensional view of Stories, Defects, and TestSets.

Each bar chart in the grid only includes the data represented by the row and column intersection. Using the controls at the top of the page, you can control: the x- and y- axes of the Bar chart, the aggregate function used to determine the bar height, the row and column grouping and you can filter the data presented.

Clicking on any chart open a larger view of that chart.

Clicking on the Details button, presents a table of the data that can be exported to Excel.

Please note that Text Fields are not available in Analytic Grids. We do not display text fields on Grids because they are not trended over time and we use an AsOf date on the grids to look across time.

This feature is available in Ultimate edition only.
