How to Add a Table to Visualization Dashboards

A Viewsheet typically contains at least one data view that presents the primary analysis result. Data views can be in the form of a simple table, a crosstab table (pivot table), a chart, or a geographical map.

All data view elements are listed under the ‘Toolbox > Data View’ node of the Component tree.

To create a table with the table element follow these steps:

1. Drag a Table element from the Component tree into the Viewsheet grid. This creates an empty table element.
2. Expand a Data Block node in the Component tree, and drag and drop one or more columns onto the Table element.
3. Repeat to add additional columns. A green highlight on the Table indicates where the dragged columns will be placed.

To create a table by dragging a data block follow these steps:

1. Select a complete Data Block in the Component tree.
2. Drag the entire Data Block directly onto the Viewsheet grid.

To add an embedded table data block, or an embedded table component, follow the steps below:

1. Select an Embedded Table Data Block in the Component tree.
2. Drag the entire Embedded Table Data Block directly onto the Viewsheet grid.
3. Drag the Embedded Table element from the Component tree into the Viewsheet grid. This creates an empty Embedded Table element.
4. Expand an Embedded Table Data Block node in the Component tree, and drag and drop an individual column onto the Embedded Table element.
5. Repeat to add additional columns. A green highlight on the Table indicates where the dragged columns will be placed.

To add hyperlinks to Embedded Table data using this method, follow the steps below:

1. Drag a Table component (regular Table) from the Component Tree into the Viewsheet. This creates a new Table component.
2. Drag the desired columns from the Embedded Table Data Block onto the Table component.
