Simple Report

Introduction

Simple Report creates a summary of values in an entryset. It can calculate the sum, average, count, variance, min, max, average or standard deviation of entries in an attribute. For example, Simple Report can determine the maximum "Price" for each "Date" or the sum of all "Revenue" generated by each "Salesperson".

To configure the Simple Report, you must first connect an entryset with a minimum of two attributes to its "Set Entryset" input connector. Then, use the Property Panel to specify which calculation and attributes the report targets. Additionally, you can change which attributes the report targets with the "Set Group-by Attributes" and "Set Process Attributes" input connectors. The report created is an entryset with as many attributes as are selected to Group-by and Process, one for each selected Process attribute and one for eacb Group-by attribute.
