Extra Conditions

Additional condition(s) for filtering the data set. HQL is expected here.

Info
titleSyntax Query
Start your filter name with e.customProperties. followed by the field id (i.e. title)
Image Modified
Info
titleHQL is accepted

You may even use an operator such as "LIKE" to narrow down your data set.

Image Modified

Code Block
titleSample
e.customProperties.title = 'Trip'

A hash variable is accepted here.

Code Block
titleSample
e.customProperties.submitted_by = '#currentUser.id#'

Userview Key can be used as part of the condition.

Code Block
languagesql

Aggregate Query

Figure 3: Advanced > Aggregrate Aggregate Query

Figure 4: The configurations shown in Figure 3 will produce the following sample result.

NameDescription
Group By

Add grouping clause/function to the eventual data set. This can be used together with Aggregate Fields above.

In figure Figure 3, the "amount" field will be summed up by "claimant", shown in per record row.

Aggregate Fields

This field will be displayed once any number of columns has been added into to the Group By field.

The select field is to aggregate.

  • Count
  • Count Distinct
  • Sum
  • Min
  • Max
  • Avg

In the sample screenshot above, the "amount" field will be put into the "Sum" function, and "Count" will be applied to the "title".

Having Conditions

This field will be displayed once any number of columns has been added into to the Group By field.

The HAVING clause enables you to specify conditions that filter which group results appear in the final results. The WHERE clause places conditions on the selected columns, whereas the HAVING clause places conditions on groups created by the GROUP BY clause. Read more at http://www.dofactory.com/sql/having

Expression Columns

Figure 5: Advanced > Expression Columns

NameDescription
Expression Columns

An additional column can be added in this expression columns column using Hibernate Query Language (HQL). This is especially useful when you need to perform additional computation on multiple columns.

Example 1 - Cast column to data type "long".

Code Block
titleExpression
CAST(price AS long)
Code Block
titleExpression
SUBSTRING(CAST(dateCreated as string),1,10)   // To extract the date from the datetime database column
Code Block
titleExpression
CAST(e.customProperties.sales_price AS long) - CAST(e.customProperties.price AS long)

Example 2 - Concatenate multiple columns into one.

Code Block
titleExpression
CONCAT(first_name, ' ', last_name)
Code Block
titleExpression
first_name ||' '|| last_name
Custom Checkbox/Radio Button Value

Define custom record ID to be used to pass over to column action. Defaulted to ID.

Caching

Image Added

Figure 6: Advanced > Caching

NameDescription
Cache Row Count?

Enables caching of row count queries to improve performance and reduce database load.

Configuring Cache Time-to-Live (TTL)

Appears only when Cache Row Count? is checked. Defines the cache validity period in seconds (default: 3600). After expiry, a new count query is executed.
