A stream is a series of data from a database. That streams that are available depend on the database. For example, in a Sales database, you might have a 'Sales' stream and a 'Budget' stream.

You can change the stream both when you are in Summary view and when you select a dimension (filtered view).

Click the Stream menu to view your options, then select a stream from the list (the default stream displays at the top).

The grid instantly updates to display the data from the new stream and the Stream button identifies your selection.

As illustrated above, you can only select one stream at a time. If you want to compare streams side-by-side, use Stream mode.

More about streams:

  • Streams do not respond to the Reset button. If you change the stream and then want to revert to the default stream, you need to manually change it back.

  • If only one stream has been defined in the underlying database, neither the Streams menu nor the Stream mode option will be available.

  • If a 'No results' message displays when you change the stream, this might be simply because the data does not exist. For example, budgets might not exist for individual customers or there might be no orders in the system for a particular branch.
