    Extra Conditions

    Additional condition(s) for filtering the data set. HQL is expected here.

    Info
    titleSyntax Query
    Start your filter name with e.customProperties. followed by the field id (i.e. title)
    Image Modified
    Info
    titleHQL is accepted

    You may even use an operator such as "LIKE" to narrow down your data set.

    Image Modified

    Code Block
    titleSample
    e.customProperties.title = 'Trip'

    A hash variable is accepted here.

    Code Block
    titleSample
    e.customProperties.submitted_by = '#currentUser.id#'

    Userview Key can be used as part of the condition.

    Code Block
    languagesql
    titleSample
    e.customProperties.category_id = '#userviewKey#'

    Aggregate Query

    Figure 3: Advanced > Aggregrate Aggregate Query

    Figure 4: The configurations shown in Figure 3 will produce the following sample result.

    NameDescription
    Group By

    Add grouping clause/function to the eventual data set. This can be used together with Aggregate Fields above.

    In figure Figure 3, the "amount" field will be summed up by "claimant", shown in per record row.

    Aggregate Fields

    This field will be displayed once any number of columns has been added into to the Group By field.

    The select field is to aggregate.

    • Count
    • Count Distinct
    • Sum
    • Min
    • Max
    • Avg

    In the sample screenshot above, the "amount" field will be put into the "Sum" function, and "Count" will be applied to the "title".

    Having Conditions

    This field will be displayed once any number of columns has been added into to the Group By field.

    The HAVING clause enables you to specify conditions that filter which group results appear in the final results. The WHERE clause places conditions on the selected columns, whereas the HAVING clause places conditions on groups created by the GROUP BY clause. Read more at http://www.dofactory.com/sql/having

    NameDescription
    Expression Columns

    An additional column can be added in this expression columns column using Hibernate Query Language (HQL). This is especially useful when you need to perform additional computation on multiple columns.

    Example 1 - Cast column to data type "long".

    Code Block
    titleExpression
    CAST(price AS long)
    Code Block
    titleExpression
    SUBSTRING(CAST(dateCreated as string),1,10)   // To extract the date from the datetime database column
    Code Block
    titleExpression
    CAST(e.customProperties.sales_price AS long) - CAST(e.customProperties.price AS long)

    Example 2 - Concatenate multiple columns into one.

    Code Block
    titleExpression
    CONCAT(first_name, ' ', last_name)
    Code Block
    titleExpression
    first_name ||' '|| last_name
    Custom Checkbox/Radio Button Value

    Define custom record ID to be used to pass over to column action. Defaulted to ID.
