VoV stands for View of Views. It allows multiple VDM Views to be combined into a single reporting structure for reporting and analysis.
VoV is useful when data from multiple Views needs to be brought together without recreating the underlying Views.
What Is VoV?
VoV allows multiple saved Views to be executed and their results combined into a single reporting structure.
Depending on the selected VoV option, the results can be combined into a summarized result or returned as multiple datasets.
Why Use VoV?
VoV can be used when information from multiple Views needs to be included in the same reporting process.
Common uses include:
- Combining summarized data from multiple Views
- Using multiple Views as a single data source for Finished Reports
- Using multiple Views as a single data source for Visualize
- Creating datasets containing results from multiple Views
- Exporting multiple View results into a single Excel workbook
VoV Types
VDM supports the following VoV types.
Single Summary
A Single Summary VoV combines grouped and aggregated summary results from multiple Views.
Views used in a Single Summary VoV must use the same number of groupings and grouping levels, with matching data types and grouping order.
For detailed instructions, see VoV Single Summary.
Dataset
A Dataset VoV returns the Detail and/or Summary results from each selected View as separate data tables.
Datasets are commonly used with Finished Reports, Visualize, and Excel exports when results from multiple Views need to be included in the same reporting process.
For detailed instructions, see VoV Dataset.
VoV Builder
VoVs are created and managed using the VoV Builder in VDM.
The VoV Builder allows you to:
- Add Views
- Configure the VoV type
- Select Connection Profiles
