The Function Flow widget allows you to display function data on nodes in the PPM Function Flow diagram.
The procedure is not required for PPM context-based dashboards.
Several conditions must be fulfilled.
The function data and the connection data are available in separate data tables provided by the relevant data sources.
A column contains the function names. The data feed can supply several function measure values including start and end node information. However, only one value other than the start or end node information can be displayed in the graph.
The data sources are connected by the Concatenate operator.
The data source columns must be assigned correctly to the Function Flow widget elements. An incorrect assignment (for example, the function measure value is used for the relevance or vice versa), can result in no graph or no function measure values. It is not validated whether the columns have been assigned consistently.
To replace a displayed function measure value, select a different column in the assign data dialog for the function measure value.
Detailed information on how to configure data feeds and how to assign data can be found in the MashZone NextGen online help.
Example data feed for displaying function data
The example shows a working data feed configuration. The connection data is retrieved by the left PPM data source operator and the function data is retrieved by the right one. Both data sources are connected by the Concatenate operator.

The result of the data feed definition is shown in the next figure.
