Objective for these Workshops

1. To cover enough of the generic concepts in Analysis Framework (AF) to be able to build the samples outputs.

2. To understand the advanced techniques and tools that are used in AF.

3. To understand the visual components in order to configure your own views.

4. To know when to use the simple components and when to use the advanced components.

Pivot Grid



Pivot Chart



Lever – Pivot Sheet



Lever - Component



Value Tree



Component Decision Tree

1

Do you want to display or edit tabular

data? 2

Do you want to display charts?

3

Do you want to display attribute

relationships?

Do you want to show formula

relationships or arbitrary

relationships?

No

Do you need to calculate cells

on the fly?

Yes

No

Are they simple column, line,

stacked or bubble charts?

Yes

Use the Analysis

Framework

Use the Pivot Sheet

Yes

The Analysis Framework



Example: Attribution Analysis



Show Case



Charting with Analysis Framework

1. Analysis Framework provides a powerful charting mechanism

2. “With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility”

3. Responsibility is in the form of Structure and Syntax

*Dependent on each personDemo Model.cm



Key Features of Charting

1. Different types of graphs in one area

2. Multiple sub-areas in one area

3. Customizable tooltips

4. Customizable colours

5. Checkboxes for graphs

6. Graph interaction

7. Striplines (Single and Multiple)

8. Many chart types that we’ve never even heard off!



Query Staging DisplayState the data source Manipulate the data View the data

How It All Works…

1. Designed in the following process flow:



Process Flow Specifics

Query Staging Display

• Uses standard Qerent Syntax

• Configurable with wirings

• Simulink style data manipulation

• C# syntax for more functionality

• Can choose between, Graphs Tables and Custom designs

• Graphs are fully customisable

Building a Chart Structure

1. Chart structure is built in a hierarchical form i:e:

• Parent• Child 1• Child 2

• Children inherit Parent’s configuration

• Using Advanced Items as parents and children give full control but slower access time

• We can sometimes get away with using 1 Advanced Item to plot multiple chart items

Looking at One Advanced Item

• Can be collapsed

• Square: Set Value Manually / use a column value

• Circle: Reset to default Value



Collapsed Headings – Fields of interest

1. Area Chart Background Colour, Chart Name

2. Area – Axes – Primary Label interval, Min, Max, Rotation, Axis Name

3. Area – Axes – Primary – Labels Label Format, Colour, Font

4. Area – Axes – Primary – Striplines Name, Offset, Format, Stripline style

5. Area – Axes – Secondary Label interval, Min, Max, Rotation, Axis Name

6. Area – Axes – Secondary – Labels Label Format, Colour, Font

7. Area – Axes – Secondary – Striplines Name, Offset, Format, Stripline style

8. Area – Header

9. Area – Legend Checkboxes, Colour, Location

10. Input Source Data, Data2, Data3

11. PointColour, Opacity, Tooltip, Selected Value

12. Point - Co-ordinates X, Y (1 – 5)

13. Series Chart Type, Name, Stroke Thickness

14. Series – Labels Location, Text, Text Format

15. Series Extended Y-Axis Secondary Axis settings



Some Useful Tips

1. Drag column headings to items

2. Colours, Names, Opacity Levels etc. can be configured in Column Builders or Scripts and used for the display

3. Chart type can also be configured in Column Builders and Script

4. Charts can be dynamic as long as column names stay fixed

5. Selected Value makes a chart interactive

6. Getting away with 1 Advanced Item (AI) can sometimes be easier than you think!

7. When a Pivot Transformer is used to pivot multiple data points, usually more than 1 AI is needed.



Some Examples

1. Multiple AI – hierarchical layout

2. Striplines (Horizontal)

3. Striplines (Vertical)

4. Single AI and Selected Value Interactive Chart

5. Area Chart, Single AI with multiple points and Multiple Data Inputs, Striplines (76 34 P2)



Some extra tips that will hopefully help you

1. Units of measure formatting: Use standard C# string format e.g.:1. Percentage: P0, P2 (no decimals, 2 decimals etc.)

2. Currency: C0, C2

3. Standard unit format: #,0.00

4. Standard unit format with custom UOM: #,0.00 kg | $ #,0.00 | P #,0

1. Item label: Format

2. Column references: $ColumnName$. Use of other words can be used for Names:1. $Booked$ $Attribute$ varies from $Planned$ by R$Value$

3. Colours can be manually configured using hexadecimal code: #FF000000 (Black)1. http://www.javascripter.net/faq/rgbtohex.htm

2. Using this in column builders/script can allow you to create a “Colour” column, and reference it directly in the Colour config by selecting the square (manual edit mode) and referencing the column name $Colour$

Remember

1. Smart use of column builders / script can enable us to manipulate the look and feel of a chart e.g.:1. Create a column that plots a different type of chart based on the amount of data points

2. Change font type based on value

3. Change colour of specific lines/columns based on criteria

4. Change tooltips based on cell value

5. Change shapes of line chart values based on criteria (Control Chart)

2. Combining of multiple chart types in a single chart area can add value to the client

3. Multiple y-axes can add value: e.g.: Vehicle Power-Torque curve

4. Research the types of graphs available in AF. They might be helpful in representing data in a simple way. We are very used to line/bar/column charts



Workshop

1. Capacity Analysis

2. Waterfall Chart

Objective

1. Ability to write back to the model in the context of Data Adapters in AF

2. Use the new model building paradigm

The current Data Adapter config is a very SIMPLE AF pipeline

= Query the Data Source

Perform Lookups

Write to the Model

Why in the Model Building Paradigm

1. Most of the data adapter config screen is MAPPING data fields to Modeller Concept fields.1. This mapping is common across

most AF problems (charts etc)

Nested OO Model

There is total encapsulation between the outer and inner object models. The outer one never knows what the inner one actually is. It just needs to know how to encapsulate it.
