Data Fields

Data fields represent the data received from RICOH Supervisor Data Collector, RICOH API for Fiery, and RICOH ProcessDirector.

You can interact with the available data fields from various places across the application. For example, you can see the list of data fields in the Data panel when you create visuals for your analyses. You also interact with the data fields when you filter and sort data or drill down into visuals.

There are two main types of data fields: dimension fields and measure fields.

Dimension or category fields
Descriptive text field icon Descriptive fields with alphanumeric strings that you can use to label and categorize data, such as printer names, printer types, and job states.
Date field icon Date fields with dates and time intervals. You can use date fields to organize your data into hierarchies according to year, quarter, and month or into units of time such as hours or minutes.
Measure fields
Numeric fields with quantified data that you can aggregate or calculate, such as number of impressions, number of copies, and event duration.
