Measure

Notes

• This configuration is used when a record type is defined as the data source for a chart. This function can be within the measure parameter in a bar, column, line, or pie chart.
• a!measure() must be used inside of a!barChartConfig(), a!columnChartConfig(), a!lineChartConfig(), or a!pieChartConfig().
• The field and function parameters are required to display data on the chart. The field also must reference a field used in the source record type.
• The functions "SUM", "MIN", "MAX", and "AVG" can only be used with fields of type integer or decimal.
• If an alias is provided, it can be used as the field in the sort parameter within the parent configuration function.
• If no measure is provided, by default the chart will display as a count of the primary key field.
• The label can determine the text label displayed in the legend or tooltip for the measure. If no label is provided, the default label displays with the function and field name, such as Count of id. The label does not apply when used with a secondary grouping, as the label is then determined by the secondary grouping field value. Also, the label does not apply when using a measure in a pie chart.
