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
- Select the Streams button (the button will display the name of the default stream). You can do this from analysis view, summary view or the edit/create a widget screen.
- 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 will need to use Stream mode.
The data in the grid will update accordingly and the stream button will display your selection.
Example - selecting a stream to view budget information
Example. We want to view budgets for all sales reps (i.e., the 'Rep' dimension) so we will use the sales database.

A stream is a series of data that comes from a different source. Typically, each business unit or department produces its own stream of data and these individual streams collectively make up the data in a database. The available streams depend on the database. For example, in a Sales database, you might have a Sales stream, an Inventory 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. Some of the dimensions might become unavailable as they do not apply to that stream.
As illustrated above, you can only select one stream at a time. If you want to compare streams side-by-side, use Stream mode.
