Simple frequency analysis reports list the frequencies of various data values found in the specified fields without using any data verification, transformation, or conditional rules. You can specify a sort order for this type of report, and you can specify a frequency threshold. The sample frequency rule defined below analyzes first and last names, reporting the top 6 frequencies and only if the frequency is three or more.
<SimpleFrequencyAnalysis> <fields> <field fieldName="Person.FirstName"/> <field fieldName="Person.LastName"/> </fields> <sortOrder fieldName="Person.FirstName" increasing="false"/> <threshold value="3" more="true"/> <topNpatterns value="6" showall="false"/> </SimpleFrequencyAnalysis> |
This analysis generates a report similar to the following:
