Abstract: An electronic device displays a chart, which includes a first set of visual marks that represent values derived from a set of data. The device concurrently displays a chart-calculations-options area. The chart-calculations-options area displays a first plurality of options for type of calculation. The device detects user selection of (i) a first option, from the first plurality of options, for type of calculation and (ii) a second option corresponding to a parameter for the selected first option. In response to detecting the user selection, the device visually distinguishes visual marks in a second set of visual marks in the chart. The second set of visual marks is distinct from the first set of visual marks and corresponds to the first option for type of calculation and the second option corresponding to the parameter for the selected first option.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to managing event information. A plurality of events associated with entities may be provided. A plurality of state types may be determined based on the plurality of events such that each state type is associated with a state. State keys associated with each entity may be determined based on events associated with each entity and the state types. A state stream for each entity may be provided based on their state keys such that each state stream may be an ordered sequence of the keys associated with each entity. In response to a query that includes a pattern filter, the pattern filter may be employed to determine a portion of the entities based on the state stream for each entity such that the pattern filter matches the state stream for each of the portion of the entities.

Abstract: An electronic device displays a chart, which includes visual marks that represent calculated values derived from a set of data, and panes formed by intersection of rows and columns. A current focus is on a first visual mark at a first position. The device concurrently displays a chart-calculations-options area, which includes display options for the type of calculation and the type of data partitioning. Visual marks in a first set of visual marks are visually distinguished from other visual marks. The first set of visual marks includes the first visual mark, and corresponds to a first selected option for the type of calculation and a first selected option for the type of data partitioning. The device detects an input that selects a second option for the type of data partitioning. In response, the device visually distinguishes visual marks in a second set of visual marks in accordance with the selection.

Abstract: A computer system displays a graphical user interface that includes a data visualization region, a shelf region, and a schema information region. The computer system receives a first user input to place a first dimension data field from the schema information region into the shelf region. In accordance with the first user input, the computer system determines a visualization level of detail that is based on at least the first dimension data field. The computer system receives a second user input to specify a first aggregation. The first aggregation has a custom level of detail that is distinct from the visualization level of detail. The computer system builds a visual specification that includes the visualization and custom levels of detail. The computer system generates a data visualization corresponding to the visual specification and displays the data visualization in the data visualization region.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to managing data models. A data source that includes records may be provided. Source fields may be determined based on the records and the source fields may be displayed in a source panel. A data model that includes a source data object may be displayed. Relationships between the source fields may be determined based on values in the records. In response to providing a relationship between the source fields, a data object that includes a key field and one or more data fields that correspond to the relationship may be generated. The data model may be modified to include the data object and to remove the source fields that correspond to the data fields.

Abstract: A method displays a graphical user interface for a data visualization application. The user interface includes a schema information region that includes fields from a database. A user specifies a first aggregation using the interface. The first aggregation groups by a first set of fields and specifies an aggregated output field. The user also specifies a second aggregation. The second aggregation references the first aggregation and groups by a second set of fields. The set may include the aggregated output field. The second set is different from the first set. The method builds a visual specification based on the first and second aggregations. The method may retrieve tuples of data from the database using database queries generated from the visual specification, where each tuple includes data calculated based on the second aggregation. The method may display a data visualization, including the data calculated based on the second aggregation.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of generating a map view includes accessing a dataset having multiple records and multiple fields. One or more of the multiple fields are identified as geographical fields. Geographical codes are automatically associated with a first one of the identified geographical fields. A geographical map is generated for the dataset. Generating the geographical map includes generating a first plurality of marks on the geographical map. The first plurality of marks is positioned on the geographical map in accordance with the geographical codes associated with the first one of the identified geographical fields.
