Use only the time dimension to statically display major events within a time range.

Example: View events within a specified time interval.

  1. On the Fields tab, select the required fields.

    In the Dimensions list, double-click Year. You can also drag this dimension to the Timeline (Time Dimension) field.

  2. On the Style tab, enter a description for the time node.

  3. Click Update.

Timeline

Use a time dimension and one non-time dimension to dynamically display events by category within a time interval.

Example: View cities with order records within a time range.

  1. On the Fields tab, select the required fields.

    • In the Dimensions list, double-click Order Date (day). You can also drag this dimension to the Timeline (Time Dimension) field.

    • In the Dimensions list, double-click City. You can also drag this dimension to the node tag (Dimensions) field.

  2. Click Update.

City

Use a time dimension and one measure to dynamically display changes in a single metric over time.

Example: View the daily average order amount over a time period.

  1. On the Fields tab, select the required fields.

    • In the Dimensions list, double-click order_date (day). You can also drag this dimension to the Timeline (Time Dimension) field.

    • In the Measures list, double-click Average Daily Order Amt. You can also drag this measure to the node tag (Mea.) field.

  2. Click Update.

3

Use a time dimension and multiple measures to dynamically display changes in several metrics over time.

Example: View changes in insurance order count and monthly fulfillment rate over time.

  1. On the Fields tab, select the required fields.

    • In the Dimensions list, double-click time (month). You can also drag this dimension to the Timeline (Time Dimension) field.

    • In the Measures list, double-click Guarantees and Monthly Achievements Rate. You can also drag these measures to the node tag (Mea.) field.

  2. Click Update.

4

Use a time dimension, one non-time dimension, and one measure to dynamically display measure data broken down by dimension over time.

Example: View the monthly achievement rate by province over time.

  1. On the Fields tab, select the required fields.

    • In the Dimensions list, double-click time (month). You can also drag this dimension to the Timeline (Time Dimension) field.

    • In the Dimensions list, double-click province. You can also drag this dimension to the node tag (Dim.) field.

    • In the Measures list, double-click Monthly Achievements Rate. You can also drag this measure to the node tag (Mea.) field.
