About configuring components

You can customize components to determine details for the displayed data and formatting. Many components include a default configuration, while others (such as charts) require configuration before they display any data.

The steps below summarize the workflow for configuring data display in a component.

Configuring data display in a component consists of the following high-level steps:
  1. Select the data view from the available data set views for the project.

    Some components use multiple data views. The Summarization Bar, for example, can use a separate data view for each summary item.

  2. Select the attribute(s) or aggregated value(s) to display.
  3. For attributes that are not System Metrics or Predefined Metrics, select the aggregation methods to use.
  4. Configure the display format for each value displayed in the component.
  5. Configure any attribute actions for displayed values.
  6. Configure the component Action menu.

For detailed instructions for specific components, see the corresponding component documentation.
