Previewing the Result
Use
This screen allows you to review the query you have defined and see a preview of its result in
a table.
Procedure
...
1. In the Description section, review the query you have defined.
The description confirms the values you have selected from your data service in a
descriptive phrase of the result.
2. In the Preview section, review the way the result will appear in a table.
The table displays results of the query, listed in the columns you have configured using
the wizard.
The display is limited to a maximum of 15 rows of the result.
3. Click Finish.
Result
You return to the Visual Composer workspace, where a new data service has been created
with the query you have configured.
A data service created with the BI Query Wizard is configured automatically with a start input
and a table view as output. These three elements together constitute a complete iView, ready
for preview and deployment to your portal.
• Just as on the Preview Result screen, when you preview your query’s
result using the Preview tab in the Visual Composer workspace, the
maximum number of rows displayed is 15.
• For Heatmap [Page
99] templates, an HTML view that generates a
heatmap is created on the URL port.
• For data services based on BW-native [Page
120] systems, an HTML
view that displays the default Web template is generated on the URL
port.
• If you have configured your query directly in a data service instead of
using the BI Query Wizard, you must configure the input and output ports
of your data service manually. See Configuring Queries Directly in Data
Services [Page 123] for more information.
For more information about displaying the result, and working with your query and its view
after it has been created, see Working With Queries [Page
130].
