PivotConfigurator Overview
The Telerik UI PivotConfigurator component for ASP.NET MVC represents an OLAP cube structure.
The PivotConfigurator can be used for configuring the column and row dimensions, and the measure fields of the PivotGrid. It is a supplementary component which is strongly related to the Telerik UI PivotDataSource.
Initializing the PivotConfigurator
The following example demonstrates how to create the PivotConfigurator.
@(Html.Kendo().PivotConfigurator()
.Name("configurator")
.Filterable(true)
.Height(570)
)
@(Html.Kendo().PivotGrid()
.Name("pivotgrid")
.Height(570)
.Filterable(true)
.Configurator("#configurator")
// Other configuration.
)
Basic Configuration
The following example demonstrates how to configure the PivotConfigurator.
@(Html.Kendo().PivotConfigurator()
.Name("configurator")
.Filterable(true)
.Sortable()
.Height(570)
)
@(Html.Kendo().PivotGrid()
.Name("pivotgrid")
.ColumnWidth(200)
.Height(570)
.Filterable(true)
.Sortable()
.Configurator("#configurator")
.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource.
Xmla()
.Columns(columns => {
columns.Add("[Date].[Calendar]").Expand(true);
columns.Add("[Product].[Category]");
})
.Rows(rows => rows.Add("[Geography].[City]"))
.Measures(measures => measures.Values(new string[]{"[Measures].[Reseller Freight Cost]"}))
.Transport(transport => transport
.Connection(connection => connection
.Catalog("Adventure Works DW 2008R2")
.Cube("Adventure Works"))
.Read(read => read
.Url("https://demos.telerik.com/olap/msmdpump.dll")
.DataType("text")
.ContentType("text/xml")
.Type(HttpVerbs.Post)
)
)
.Events(e => e.Error("onError"))
)
)
The following image demonstrates the output from the previous example.
Referencing Existing Instances
To reference an existing PivotConfigurator instance, use the jQuery.data() method. Once a reference has been established, use the PivotConfigurator client-side API to control its behavior.
var pivotconfigurator = $("#pivotconfigurator").data("kendoPivotConfigurator");
