Creating Analysis
Overview
In order to create visualizations, users have to create an analysis table within the Data Insights app. Analysis table is the central data-source containing multiple columns, that serves as the base table for generating different types of visualuzations. Therefore, we can declare that an analysis table can contain multiple visualizations.
Create an Analysis Table
To create an analysis table, navigate to the analysis listing page. On the right side of this page, you will find Add Analysis Table. Upon clicking on this button, a model will be displayed and users have to enter the name of the analysis table.
Upon clicking on save button, an analysis table will be created and user will be redirected to the Analysis Page.
This page is divided into components:
- Left Section
- Right Section
Left Section shows entities of the project, which is again divided into two components(user can scroll and check):
- Asset Type List
- Sensor Type List
- Show Topology
Asset Type List
Sensor Type List
Show Topology
Upon clicking on Show Topology button, the hierarchy of entities like asset_types and sensor_types will be displayed. The main idea behind this is to show the connection between all the asset_types and the sensor_types of the project in the physical world.
Upon clicking on Show Topology button, topology modal will be opened as shown below.
Right Section consists of the columns placeholder, where user can drag and drop asset-types and sensor-types's metadata from the left side, doing so will look something like this:
After user has dragged and dropped the entities, they need to click on the Build button to generate the data.
Thus the analysis table will be populated with data. There is one more thing user can do, they can add more columns or reduce columns, but they have to again click on the Build button after making such changes.
