TreeView Transform
This transform can filter and sort a tree-based source.
Filtering
Filtering is possible according to the name of elements, the hierarchy, and the attribute values of the elements. It is more flexible than the transform type TableView, and can also preserve the tree structure of the source.
Attribute
To define a filter on the element name (default), keep this entry empty or select “element”. To define a filter on an attribute value of the source, select one of the attributes.
Filter Type
accept | All nodes that fulfill the filter criteria are included in the selection. |
deny | All nodes that fulfill the filter criteria are excluded from the selection. |
Operators
equal | Filtering occurs according to the element specified. |
inAlpharange |
Alphanumerical values in a particular range are filtered.
Examples: inclusive range: “[A100,A200]” |
inrange |
Numerical values in a particular range are filtered.
Examples: inclusive range: “[100,200]” |
isEmpty | The element is empty or consists only of space values. |
like | Filters the dimension elements according to regular expressions. |
Modes
nodesToBases | All bases under the selected value are filtered, including the selected element. |
onlyBases | All base elements under the selected value are filtered. |
onlyChildren | All children elements of the selected value are filtered. |
onlyNodes | Only the selected element is filtered out. |
onlyRoot | Only the element from the highest level of the hierarchy is filtered out, based on the selected element. |
rootToBase | Based on the selected element, this element and the elements above and below are filtered out. |
rootToConsolidate | Only consolidated elements above the selected element are filtered out. |
rootToNode | Only consolidated elements that are above the selected elements in the hierarchy are filtered out. |
For examples, especially for the different modes, see Dimension Extract.
Sorting
The tree sources can be sorted based on different sorting Inputs:
-
:element : the name of the element
-
:level : the numerical level of the element in the hierarchy i.e., the depth in the tree
-
<attribute name> : a tree attribute value
Elements can be sorted in ascending or descending order, with or without case sensitivity. Multiple sort criteria can also be defined.
Sort Children
The TreeView transform sorts the child consolidations for each tree node in alphanumerical order.
Sort positions
If this option is set in addition to the child consolidations, the global position of the elements in the tree is ordered. The screenshot below shows the difference between the enabled and disabled “Sort positions” options.
Note: this can best be seen when displaying the tree with format "EA".
