Association

Reporting

An association is a predefined relationship between objects of two classes, conveyed by an association rule. The relationship identifies properties in one object that have the same range of values as properties in the other objects. The association between the two classes can be used in database searches for reports, and in other operations.

For example, the Association rule pxAssignedDivInfo relates data instances in the Assign- class to those in Data-Admin-OrgDivision. A report using this Association rule would only return rows where the value of .pxAssignedOrgDiv in the class Data-Admin-OrgDivision equals the value of pxAssignedDivInfo.pyOrgDivision.

Associations are predefined SQL JOIN operations.

The Report Components landing page includes an Associations landing page tab that lists the available association rules. To access it, click > Reporting > Report Components > Associations. Click any displayed row to open the Association rule it describes. Click the New button to create a new Association rule. See About Association rules.
