A stream is a data series from a database, e.g., 'Sales' or 'Budget' in a Sales database. You can view a single data stream using the Stream button, or compare streams in stream mode. Streams may be different in different databases.

View a single data stream

  1. Select the Streams button.
  2. Choose a stream from the list (the default stream will appear at the top). Only one stream can be chosen at a time, so if you want to compare streams you should use stream mode.

    T    he data in the grid will update accordingly and the stream button will display your selection.

For example: We want to view budgets for all sales reps, using the 'Sales' database. Typically, this will show sales information in the grid. To change to budget data:

  1. Choose the 'Sales' database and 'Rep' dimension.
  2. Select Stream > Budget. The grid will update to show budget data. 

Compare two streams using stream mode

You can compare two streams of data side by side using stream mode. 

More about streams

  • Streams do not respond to the Reset button. If you have selected a stream, you will need to manually change it back.
  • If only one stream has been defined, then neither the Streams button nor Use Stream mode will appear.
  • If a 'No results' message is displayed when selecting a stream, this may be simply because the data does not exist. e.g. budgets may not exist for individual customers, or there may be no orders in the system for a particular branch.
