Creating Hierarchies and Groups

Hierarchies and groups are data model structures that can be implemented to simplify the user and report authoring experience. Hierarchies provide single-click access to multiple columns of a table, enabling users to navigate through pre-defined levels, such as the weeks within a given month. Groups comprise individual values of a column that enable analysis and visualization of the combined total as though it is a single value. Hierarchies and groups have useful applications in almost all data models, and it is important to understand the relationship of these structures to the data model and visualizations.
