Slice is a definition of what data subset from the data source is going to be shown in the report. Learn more in this tutorial with examples: Slice.
This object has the following properties:
columns – Array of objects. A list of hierarchies selected in the report slice for columns. Each object can have the following properties: uniqueName – String. A hierarchy unique name.caption optional – String. A hierarchy caption.dimensionName optional – String. A dimension name.filter optional – FilterObject. It contains filtering information.levelName optional – String. It used to specify the level of the hierarchy that is shown on the grid.showTotals optional — Boolean. Defines whether totals are shown or hidden for the hierarchy. When set to true, totals are shown. Only for the classic view.showTotals is not specified, totals’ visibility is defined by the options.showTotals property. Learn more about options.showTotals.sort optional – String. A sorting type for the members ("asc", "desc" or "unsorted").sortOrder optional – Array. Using this property you can set custom sorting for hierarchy members. You can specify sortOrder the following way: ["member_1", "member_2", etc.]. Only for "csv" and "json" data source types. drills optional – Object. Stores the information about drill-downs in multilevel hierarchies:drillAll optional – Boolean. It indicates whether all levels of all hierarchies in slice will be drilled down (true) or drilled up (false).columns optional – Array of objects. It is used to save and restore drilled down columns.rows optional – Array of objects. It is used to save and restore drilled down rows. drillThrough optional – Array. It allows pre-defining slice for the drill-through view. Only for "csv", "json", and "api" data source types. Can be specified the following way: ["Hierarchy name 1", "Hierarchy name 2", etc.] (see live demo). expands optional – Object. Stores the information about expanded nodes:expandAll optional – Boolean. Indicates whether all nodes in the data tree will be expanded (true) or collapsed (false) on the grid and on charts.columns optional – Array of objects. It is used to save and restore expanded columns.rows – Array of objects. It is used to save and restore expanded rows. flatSort – Array of objects. Defines sorting for columns in the flat view. Only for "json", "csv", and "api" data source types.uniqueName – String. The unique name of the column being sorted.sort – String. The sorting type ("asc", "desc", or "undefined").Ctrl and click a sorting arrow on each column to be sorted.measures – Array of objects. A list of selected measures and those which have different properties from default ones. Each object has the following properties: uniqueName – String. A measure unique name.active optional – Boolean. A value that defines whether the measure will be in the list of available values but not selected (false) or will be selected for the report (true).aggregation optional — String. A unique name of aggregation that will be applied to the measure. To see the list of supported aggregation functions for each data source type, refer to Flexmonster’s technical specifications. If the measure is calculated, skip the aggregation property.availableAggregations optional — Array of strings. Note that starting from version 2.8, the availableAggregations property is considered deprecated. Use the MappingObject’s aggregations property instead.availableAggregations represents the list of aggregation functions which can be applied to the current measure. If it is a calculated measure, it will be [].caption optional – String. A measure caption.formula optional – String. Represents the formula. Refers to the calculated measure. It can contain the following operators: +, -, *, / (check a full list). Other measures can be referenced using the measure’s unique name and the associated aggregation function, for example sum("Price") or max("Order"). To see the list of supported aggregation functions for each data source type, refer to Flexmonster’s technical specifications. individual optional – Boolean. It refers to the calculated measure. Defines whether the formula is calculated using raw values (true) or using aggregated values (false). Only for "json" and "csv" data source types. Default value: false.calculateNaN optional – Boolean. Defines whether the formula is calculated using the NaN values (true) or using the null values (false). Default value: true.format optional – String. A name of number formatting.grandTotalCaption optional – String. A measure grand total caption. flatOrder – Array of strings. Defines the order of the hierarchies for the "flat" grid type. flatOrder can be specified like this: ["Hierarchy name 1", "Hierarchy name 2", etc.] (see live demo). Only for "json", "csv", and "api" data source types. memberProperties – Array of objects. Only for the "microsoft analysis services" data source type. Each object in the array has the following properties: levelName – String. A hierarchy unique name.properties – Array. It contains member properties, which will be shown on the grid. Other available member properties can be accessed through the context menu. reportFilters – Array of objects. A list of hierarchies selected in the report slice for report filters. Each object has the following properties: uniqueName – String. A hierarchy unique name.caption optional – String. A hierarchy caption.dimensionName optional – String. A dimension name.filter optional – FilterObject. It contains filtering information.levelName optional – String. Used to specify the level of the hierarchy that is shown on the grid.sort optional – String. A sorting type for the members ("asc", "desc" or "unsorted").sortOrder optional – Array. Using this property you can set custom sorting for hierarchy members. Only for "csv" and "json" data source types. You can specify sortOrder the following way: ["member_1", "member_2", etc.]. rows – Array of objects. A list of hierarchies selected in the report slice for rows. Each object can have the following properties: uniqueName – String. A hierarchy unique name.caption optional – String. A hierarchy caption.dimensionName optional – String. A dimension name.filter optional – FilterObject. It contains filtering information.levelName optional – String. Used to specify the level of the hierarchy that is shown on the grid.showTotals optional — Boolean. Defines whether totals are shown or hidden for the hierarchy. When set to true, totals are shown. Only for the classic view.showTotals is not specified, totals’ visibility is defined by the options.showTotals property. Learn more about options.showTotals.sort optional – String. A sorting type for the members ("asc", "desc" or "unsorted").sortOrder optional – Array. Using this property you can set custom sorting for hierarchy members. Only for "csv" and "json" data source types. You can specify sortOrder the following way: ["member_1", "member_2", etc.]. sorting optional – Object. Defines the sorting for numbers in a specific row and/or column in the pivot table. To clear the sorting, use the sortValues API call.sorting object has the following properties:column – Object.
