Configuring the view attributes

For each attribute in the view, you can configure the display name and aggregation methods.

• About the view attributes list
  On the Views page, the attributes list for a view consists of the attributes from the view definition. This includes both the defined attributes and the grouping attributes.
• Editing and localizing an attribute display name and description
  The attribute display name is used in Studio as the default label for the attribute. By default, the attribute display name is the same as the attribute key. The description provides additional information. You can edit both values, and also create localized versions for each of the supported locales.
• Determining the available subsets of date/time attributes
  For a date/time attribute, you can select the available combinations of date "parts" that can be used to display and filter by the attribute.
• Configuring the default display format for an attribute
  By default, the display format for attribute values is based on the attribute's data type plus the user's current locale. You can change the default display format used for each attribute. Within specific components, you can then make some updates to the display format.
• Selecting the available and default aggregation methods for an attribute
  Aggregation methods are used to aggregate attribute values into metrics displayed on components such as Chart, Pivot Table, and Results Table.
• Aggregation methods and the data types that can use them
  Aggregation methods are types of calculations used to group attribute values into a metric for each dimension value. For example, for each country (each value of the Country dimension), you might want to retrieve the total value of transactions (the sum of the Sales Amount attribute).
• Configuring the Available Refinements behavior for base view attributes
  For each attribute in a base view, the Views page attributes list allows you to configure settings for how to handle selection and sorting of attribute values on the Available Refinements panel.
