- other users want to control filters only (simple users).
- a third set of users only accesses the report occasionally, and wants filters grouped by purpose (geography / business unit / time).

So we have variables and two each of geog/bu/time filters which can be shown on the devices view / RHS sidebar.

Idea:
- allow the insertion of spaces / line breaks.
- allow colouring of devices by group and adding group titles.
- allow devices groups to be collapsed.

Even if I use a different device view for each group of devices, it doesn't allow me to collapse them neatly, which is often necessary given screen size limits.

Ideal use case (see attached illustration):
- key device groups and/or filters are expanded when users open tabs.
- superuser device groups and/or filters can be expanded when users wish to utilise them.
- device group titles and colours/breaks quickly communicate what filters are for with less need for instruction.

If there are a lot of devices, or width is at a premium, then using dividers would allow devices to be separated slightly so the above could be achieved visually to some extent.]]> Group Queries http://forums.visokio.com/discussion/2627/group-queries Thu, 03 Jul 2014 01:14:59 -0400 DBuzacott 2627@/discussions
One of our regular reports has approximately 40 queries. Unfortunately this clutters up the filters as although the top ~10 queries are used commonly, the remaining ~30 queries (predominantly used for tables tailored to specific user requirements) are also displayed and this pushes down the other filters on the right sidebar. Some people who view this report do not realise that they need to scroll down to find the other filters.

We would like to be able to group these queries, i.e. into a 'general queries' and a 'table queries' group so that we may collapse the options available in the filters.]]> Layout: Floating Filter Devices (2.8+) http://forums.visokio.com/discussion/1008/layout-floating-filter-devices-2.8- Thu, 22 Sep 2011 11:26:35 -0400 alexhoward 1008@/discussions Devices View - floating filters (2.8+) http://forums.visokio.com/discussion/2101/devices-view-floating-filters-2.8- Mon, 22 Apr 2013 05:05:06 -0400 mustafa 2101@/discussions Overview
Starting from 2.8 we have added a new view called "Devices". This View has been added as many of you would like to see this available in Omniscope as discussed here (Floating filter devices).

Figure 1: Showing 3 different Devices view each showing use of different style and layout (see attached demo.iok).


The View allows you to show any number filter device which was previously shown only sidebars (Right/Left). This enables you to spread your devices anywhere on the tab rather than having them appear only in Right/Left sidebar. There is no limitation on how many Devices view you can add. You can think of Devices view as unlimited sidebars in form a View which can be places anywhere on the tab.

Devices view is just like a normal view in terms of normal View functionality i.e. you can drag and drop them to different places around just like any other view in Omniscope. The difference is that instead of showing you something about your data (i.e. Graph), it shows devices.

Devices view works in the same way as the sidebars in the sense that a Device can only appear once throughout the tab. There are number layout/styling options available allowing you to customise the View which are described below.

Features


This section describes a list of features available for the view.

Expand and Collapse (All)

You can expand and collapse all the Devices using the Expand/Collapse all button located on the Toolbar.

Layout

There are number of layout options available which allow you to choose how you would like the devices to be be laid out.

  • Mode: Defines how the devices should laid out within the view.
  • Column count: Defines the maximum number of columns to create after which the devices will wrap to next line.
  • Device width: Controls minimum device width when trying to work out how much space to allocate to each device.

Spacing

  • Margin: Controls the margin around all the devices as a whole.
  • Between column: Controls the spacing between each column in terms of layout.
  • Between rows: Controls the spacing between each row in terms of layout.
  • Fill height: If ticked, all devices height will be adjusted so that all vertical space is filled.
  • Fill width: If ticked, all devices width will be adjusted so that all horizontal space is filled.

Styling

Allows you to override global style settings for all devices inside the View. You can do this by clicking the "Edit" button next to Devices style.

Other options

All other options which you can see in the sidebar Tools menu are located in View > Tools > Other tab.]]> Idea: Overview of filters/exclusions applied by view? http://forums.visokio.com/discussion/1511/idea-overview-of-filtersexclusions-applied-by-views Mon, 30 Apr 2012 05:51:54 -0400 andy_white 1511@/discussions
Have a way in Content view of listing all exclusions/filters made in that tab?
Have a specific view that lists this (ala Portal view)?

It's often hard to know what you've done without looking at the Sidebar (and even then not easy) this is also very pertinent in printed reports etc. - Andy]]>
