View Controls

Views have unique controls that modify the data displayed.  These controls include:

  • Date Range: Allows changing the time frame of a view
  • Timeline: Puts historical data in motion similar to a DVR
  • Config: Contains additional options to modify the view behavior

Date Range

The Date Range selector allows the user to select a date range from a list of pre-configured date ranges.  It also allows for the selecting of a custom date range by clicking "Custom", which causes a calendar component to appear. 

Timeline

Selecting the clock icon will open up the animated timeline which you can play and see the changes as they happened over a set period of time.

 

The timeline settings (wrench) offer more control over the playback speed and timeline range.  Options include:

  • Dates: Choose previous number of days or manually select a date range to animate
  • Period: What rollup interval to animate
  • Step Delay: How quickly the animation moves through the timeline

Configuration

Selecting the wrench icon in the upper-right corner of a view will bring up the configuration menu. This view configuration will be unique to each view when modified.  

Views and Viewlets with a Title configuration option can optionally use a template macro to show either:

  • ${context}: the contextual display name of the current context level. Only works if inside of a context. On a site like "Barnard" this would show "Barnard" and then change as is appropriate when navigating contexts.
  • ${dateRange}: the current view's date range display string. "Today", "Last Month", etc. Will change when the global date range selection changes.


Some views may not have additional configuration
