4-12 Oracle Fusion Middleware Users Guide for Oracle Business Activity Monitoring
This feature is also available in Crosstab views see Section 4.5, Creating and Using
Crosstab Views . The only difference in functionality between Chart views and
Crosstab views is that the Crosstab views do not have the option of creating a continuous time series, because there is no x-axis.
Figure 4–2 Time Groups Options
To configure time groups: 1.
In a report that you are creating or editing, select a field of type datetime in the Group By
list in the Fields tab. The Time Groups options appear on the right side of the tab as shown in
Figure 4–2 .
2. Select the Continuous time series check box to display groups for time intervals
where no data is available. The continuous time series feature is not available in Crosstab views.
There may be time gaps where the data did not have entries. The Continuous time series
feature adds groups to the result whose values are zero, so that when the results are shown on the graph, the x axis represents a smooth time series.
Continuous time series only works if you have chosen a single datetime field to group by. Continuous time series does not work if any additional groupings are
selected.
3. Select either Use time series or Use time groups.
■
Use time series displays the data from the first datetime point available to the
last in a sequence.
■
Use time groups displays data grouped into a set of time intervals. For
example, if you select Month from the time unit list, all data from January from all years where data is available is grouped in one data point on the
chart.
4.
Select a time unit from the list.
