Hierarchy Map Features

The Hierarchy Map data monitor includes the following features.

• The data monitor shows the complete hierarchy, with the hierarchy path built not just by using the delimiter within a field value but also across different field values. (Previous versions of the data monitor did not show the complete hierarchy.)

• Group By fields provide options to specify a list of delimiters for use by each selected Group by field. By default, no delimiters are used, if no delimiters are specified then the whole field is taken as a single level for hierarchy. (Previous versions built the hierarchy path within a field value based on only one type of separator, a forward slash, which did not support fields that use other separators like a backward slash, “\”, or a dot, “.” )

  Group By fields also provide an option to set the maximum depth level of hierarchy within a field.The default depth level is equal to the number of delimiters in the field. Entering 0 for this option signifies no depth level for the selected field, effectively defining the field as a single-level hierarchy.

• A list of Group Attributes can be specified as a drill-down display to show when a user drills down into a group. For each attribute, the user can select a field and a function (max, min, count, average, count unique) on that field value.

• Enhanced visualization tools for label, size by, and color by provide fine-grained control of hierarchy map display with regard to Group By and Group Attributes fields and values.
