Ranking table

A Ranking table is a template that you define and use as the basis for producing charts and Table views. By using a Ranking table you can create a list of objects that are rated in relation to each other according to parameters you supply.

 

If a Table view is based on a Ranking table, the table that is displayed on the web page will contain clickable object names (links) that will take you directly to the screen containing that object.

Objects that are not visible or that are outside the time span will not be included in Ranking tables.
