Using this area you can restrict access by:

  • Users. In the Users field, type the IDs of the users. Viewpoint will check if the users you added are valid; that is, has a valid operating system account. If the user is valid, the user name turns green; otherwise it turns red. Use "ALL" to remove restrictions.
  • Group associations. In the Groups field, type the IDs of the groups. Viewpoint will check if the groups you added are valid; that is, has a valid operating system account. If the group is valid, the group ID turns green; otherwise it turns red. Use "ALL" to remove restrictions.
  • Account associations. In the Accounts field, select from the available accounts listed in the drop-down. Leave blank to remove restrictions.

8.3.3 Data Preview

The main pane of the View Data page displays a preview of the aggregated data in a tabular format.

Column titles that are underlined indicate that you can sort (ascending or descending) the column contents. If the data preview is wider than the space available to display it, the data preview will include a scroll bar to scroll right and left to view the data.

There are two buttons at the bottom of the aggregated view data you can use to leave the View Data page.

Click VIEW THE PIPELINE to view the data pipeline that selects the data for the aggregated view.
