Analysis
An Analysis is a visual display of data from the following data sources within Tulip
- App (single or many)
- Table (single)
- Machine (single or many)
App: Data is organized around App Completions from the past
Table: Data is current values in Table Rows
Machine: Data is past events from OPC tags that are stored in attributes
It is defined via:
- A “Chart Template” that determines the type of display- bar chart, table etc.
- A set of configuration fields and their current values. The available configuration fields depend on the Chart Template.
This doc will review all the possible configuration fields for each chart template and data source combination.
Fields For All Chart Templates

| Date range (machine data source only) | The date range for values from OPC tags that should be considered based on when the OPC tag outputted a value |
| Display | A series of options to change the display of data on the chart, including:
Show Target Cycle Time: Show the goal process cycle time from the first app added to the Analysis Switch X Axis and Colors: Switch the “Compare By” and “X Axis” values Hide Legend: Hide the legend on top of the chart Hide X Axis Label Hide X Axis Tick Labels Hide Y Axis Tick Labels |
| Customize | Change the way that names of different variables, table data, machine data, and summary operations appear on the chart |
One Operation
This displays one variable or table field on the X axis and a numerical value on the Y axis.
| Name | Description |
| X Axis | The data point whose values will determine the categorization of data on the graph |
| Y Axis | The numerical data point that will be organized based on the X Axis values |
| Display | Chart Types
Bar Chart, Donut Chart, Line Chart, Pareto Chart, Dot Plot |
Compare Variables (bar chart)
This displays multiple numerical or boolean variables or table fields on the X axis and a numerical value on the Y axis.
| Name | Description |
| X Axis (apps data only) | Choose the variables with numerical or boolean values that you would like to compare on the chart |

| X Axis (table data only) | Choose the table fields with numerical or boolean values that you would like to compare on the chart |
| X Axis (machine data only) | Choose the machine fields with numerical or boolean values that you would like to compare on the chart |
Multiple Operations (bar chart)
This displays multiple numerical or boolean variables or table fields on the X axis and up to 2 numerical Y axes. Only the Y axis related to the first defined operation will be shown.
| Name | Description |
| X Axis (apps data only) | Choose the variables that you would like to compare on the chart |

Results on X Axis (bar chart)
This shows individual app completions on the X axis and a numerical or boolean value on the Y Axis.
| Name | Description |
| Y Axis | The list of numerical variables or table fields to compare for each individual app completion |
| Display | Chart Types
Bar Chart, Donut Chart, Line Chart, Pareto Chart, Dot Plot |
Scatter Plot
This shows one numerical table field or variable on the x axis and a numerical value on the Y axis.
| Name | Description |
| X Axis | Choose the variables with numerical values that you would like to compare on the chart X axis |
| Y Axis | Choose the variables with numerical values that you would like to compare on the chart Y axis |
| Sorting | The direction of the X axis- either values are either increasing or decreasing
Also includes a “limit” input to limit the number of data points on graph |
| Display | Chart Type
Table |
Single Number
This shows a single numerical value. Can be whole number or percentage.
| Name | Description |
| Number (app data only) | Specify the numerical value that should be displayed |
| Number (table data only) | The numerical value that should be shown based on a single value from a Table Row or a rollup value from multiple Table Rows |
| Number (machine data only) | The numerical value derived from a rollup of many Machine State Changes |
Slideshow
This shows a single Image variable or table field with any user-defined text variables or table fields alongside it. There is one “slide” in the “slideshow” per app completion.
| Name | Description |
| Image | Determines which image variable should be used in each step of the slideshow |
| Columns | Additional data points from the app completion that should be shown alongside the image in the slideshow |
Tables
Tables show single rows of data per app completion OR rows for each value of a user-defined variable in the “Groupings” section. For example, one row per user.
| Name | Description |
| Groupings | Determines what should make up a row in the table- either individual values from app completions or common values across many app completions |
| Operations | The columns that should be shown for each grouping- can be numerical or categorical |
| Sorting | The order of rows- can be based on a numerical value in any column
Also includes a “limit” input to limit the number of data points on graph |
