Description

New column name

Replaces the data source column name that is used by default. The column name is also used for the tool tip.

Format

Output format of the column values, for example, used for data points or tool tips. Available for columns of date and numeric type.

For details on setting the date format, refer to the chapter Change data type - single value.

Note that the pattern for the day of the week used in the Assign Data 2/2 dialog is different from the pattern used in data feed processing. For the date format of the day of the week, you must use the pattern dddd instead of eeee as in the data feed processing. For example, the format dddd.MM.YYYY returns Monday.12.2019.

Round numerically

Aggregation

Specifies how the KPI value is calculated. Available for numeric columns. Default is Average value.

The number of aggregation types provided by context-based widgets may differ from that of non-context-based widgets.
