Groups Attributes and Keywords

This table serves as a guide for associating metadata attributes and keywords from AF, SQL, and inmation databases with Visual KPI Remote Context Service (RCS).

The first column denotes the Visual KPI Attribute that corresponds to your external elements. Refer to the Value column for detailed information about specific attribute values. The last three columns indicate whether such mapping is feasible within AF, SQL, or inmation databases.

Visual KPI Attribute	Description	Value	AF	SQL	inmation
Group Name	The name of the Group that will appear to your users. Longer names may be truncated on small screen devices, so consider short names with unique attributes at the beginning (e.g., 'Site 1').	Elements are groups, so name of element. Can also be a sub attribute called Name. SQL: Name, Group Name or GroupName, Display Order or DisplayOrder	yes	yes	yes
Display Order	Numeric value that overrides the default alphanumeric order of Groups. Groups with blanks will be sorted alphanumerically and displayed below Groups with numbers.	Numeric Value	yes	yes	yes
Description	The description of the Group that will appear to your users. Use longer descriptions, in conjunction with shorter names, to accommodate small screen formats.	Can either be the description of the Element or a sub attribute called Description. SQL: isplay Order or DisplayOrder	yes	yes	yes
Parent Name	The name of the parent Group that this Group belongs to (Note: This is used when Groups have only one parent). Parent-Child relationships are defined by either this field or a combination of Group Selection Query and custom attributes.		auto from position in hierarchy	yes	no
Group Selection Query	Determines what child Groups will appear in this Group based on their attributes (e.g., all Groups where 'Region' = 'Region NE'). For Groups with only 1 parent, it's best to use the Parent Name field on the child Groups.		no	yes	no
