Gets or sets a value that determines whether users should be allowed to edit the properties of the PivotField objects owned by this PivotEngine.

If you set this property to false, the context menus shown by controls such as the **PivotGrid** and **PivotPanel** will not include an option for changing the field settings.

The default value for this property is **true**.

Gets or sets a value that determines whether view updates should be generated asynchronously.

This property is set to true by default, so summaries over large data sets are performed asynchronously to prevent stopping the UI thread.

The default value for this property is **true**.

Gets or sets a value that determines whether the engine should generate fields automatically based on the itemsSource.

If you set this property to true, the engine will generate fields for each property of the items in the itemsSource. The binding property of the auto-generated fields is set to the property name, and their header property is set to a string obtained by capitalizing the first letter of the binding and adding spaces before each capital letter.

For example, a 'customerName' property will cause the engine create a field with binding set to 'customerName' and header set to 'Customer Name'.

When adding fields to one of the view lists using strings, you must specify the header, not the binding (unlike bindings, field headers must be unique).

The default value for this property is **true**.

Gets the ICollectionView that contains the raw data.

Gets the list of PivotField objects that define the fields shown as columns in the output table.

Gets or sets the default filter type (by value or by condition).

The default value for this property is **null**, which causes the engine to use **FilterType.Both** on the client or **FilterType.Condition** on the server.

Gets or sets a value that determines whether the filter should include only values selected by the filterText property.

The default value for this property is **true**, which matches Excel's behavior.

Set it to **false** to disable this behavior, so searching only affects which items are displayed on the list and not which items are included in the filter.

Gets the list of PivotField objects exposed by the data source.

This list is created automatically whenever the itemsSource property is set.

Pivot views are defined by copying fields from this list to the lists that define the view: valueFields, rowFields, columnFields, and filterFields.

For example, the code below assigns a data source to the PivotEngine and then defines a view by adding fields to the rowFields, columnFields, and valueFields lists.

import { PivotEngine } from '@mescius/wijmo.olap';

// create pivot engine
let pe = new PivotEngine();



// set data source (populates fields list)
pe.itemsSource = this.getRawData();


// prevent updates while building Olap view
pe.beginUpdate();


// show countries in rows
pe.rowFields.push('Country');


// show categories and products in columns
pe.columnFields.push('Category');
pe.columnFields.push('Product');


// show total sales in cells
pe.valueFields.push('Sales');


// done defining the view
pe.endUpdate();

Gets the list of PivotField objects that define the fields used as filters.

Fields on this list do not appear in the output table, but are still used for filtering the input data.

Gets a value that indicates whether the viewDefinition have been changed but the changes have not benn applied yet (deferUpdate mode)

Gets a value that determines whether the engine is bound to a server itemsSource or is using local data.

Gets a value that indicates whether the engine is currently being updated.

Gets a value that determines whether a pivot view is currently defined.

A pivot view is defined if any of the valueFields, rowFields, or columnFields lists are not empty.

Gets or sets the array or ICollectionView that contains the raw data to be analyzed, an object describing an SSAS cube service, or a string containing the URL for a ComponentOne DataEngine service.

The first option (using an array or ICollectionView) is the simplest, but it limits the amount of raw data you can handle. Loading the raw data into an array can take a long time if the data set contains more than about 50,000 items or so.

To use this option, simply set the itemsSource property to any JavaScript array containing the raw data to be analyzed. For example:

import { PivotEngine } from '@mescius/wijmo.olap';
let ng = PivotEngine({
    itemsSource = getDataArray(1000);
});

The second option (direct connection to OLAP SSAS cubes) allows the PivotEngine to connect directly to OLAP cubes provided by SSAS servers. This option removes the size limitations mentioned above and allows you to analyze data sets with millions or billions of records.

To use this option, set the itemsSource property to an object that specifies how the component should access the service. For example:

import { PivotEngine } from '@mescius/wijmo.olap';
let ng = PivotEngine({
    itemsSource: {
        url: 'http://ssrs.componentone.com/OLAP/msmdpump.dll',
        cube: 'Adventure Works',
        catalog: 'AdventureWorksDW2012Multidimensional'
    }
});

The **catalog** property is optional, but **url** and **cube** are required.

The preceding example works with SSAS servers that allow anonymous access. For servers that require Basic Authentication, you should also include the appropriate **user** and **password** members as part of the itemsSource object.

When connecting directly to OLAP SSAS cubes, users will not be able to filter fields by value. They will still be able to filter by condition.

The third option, ComponentOne data engine services, allows you to analyze large datasets on a server without downloading the raw data to the client. You can use our high-performance FlexPivot services or interface with Microsoft's SQL Server Analysis Services OLAP Cubes.

To use ComponentOne data engine services, set the itemsSource property to a string containing the URL of the data service. For example:

import { PivotEngine } from '@mescius/wijmo.olap';
let ng = new wijmo.olap.PivotEngine({
    itemsSource: 'http://demos.componentone.com/ASPNET/c1webapi/4.5.20193.222/api/dataengine/cube'
});

The PivotEngine sends view definitions to the server, where summaries are calculated and returned to the client.

When connecting ComponentOne DataEngine data sources, users will not be able to filter fields by value. They will still be able to filter by condition.

For more information about the ComponentOne DataEngine services please refer to the online documentation.

Our OlapServerIntro sample shows all options working with a single PivotEngine.

Gets the ICollectionView containing the output pivot view.

Gets the list of PivotField objects that define the fields shown as rows in the output table.

Gets or sets the maximum number of records the getDetail method should retrieve from the server.

The default value for this property is **1,000**, which is a reasonable amount of detail in many scenarios. If you want to allow more detail records to be retrieved, increase the value of this property.

Gets or sets the amount of time, in milliseconds, that the engine should wait before polling the server for progress status while retrieving results.

The default value for this property is **500** milliseconds, which causes the engine to poll the server for a status update every half second.

Gets or sets the maximum amount of time, in milliseconds, that the engine should wait for the results to come back from the server.

The default value for this property is **60,000** milliseconds, or one minute. If you expect server operations to take longer than that, set the property to a higher value.

Gets or sets a value that determines whether the output pivotView should include columns containing subtotals or grand totals.

The default value for this property is **ShowTotals.GrandTotals**.

Gets or sets a value that determines whether the output pivotView should include rows containing subtotals or grand totals.

The default value for this property is **ShowTotals.GrandTotals**.

Gets or sets a value that determines whether the Olap output table should use zeros to indicate missing values.

The default value for this property is **false**.

Gets or sets a value that determines whether the engine should sort groups when sorting the value fields (measures) or whether it should keep the group order and the data only within each group.

The default value for this property is **true**.

Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the summary data received from the server is already sorted.

If this property is set to true, the PivotEngine will not sort the data it receives from the server.

This property should be used only in conjunction with custom servers that return the aggregated data properly sorted, typically using custom logic not available in the standard PivotEngine.

The default value for this property is **false**.

Gets or sets a value that determines whether row and column totals should be displayed before or after regular data rows and columns.

If this value is set to true, total rows appear above data rows and total columns appear on the left of regular data columns.

The default value for this property is **false**.

Gets the list of PivotField objects that define the fields summarized in the output table.

Gets or sets the current pivot view definition as a JSON string.

This property is typically used to persist the current view as an application setting.

For example, the code below implements two functions that save and load view definitions using local storage:

// save/load views
function saveView() {
  localStorage.viewDefinition = pivotEngine.viewDefinition;
}
function loadView() {
  pivotEngine.viewDefinition = localStorage.viewDefinition;
}
