TeamConnect Business Intelligence (Linux) Enhanced Statistics in Data Preview for ElastiCubes
Overview
The Enhanced Statistics in Data Preview feature is now available in the ElastiCube (eCube) environment. This feature allows users to quickly analyze, summarize, and understand data without building dashboards or writing queries. In the current TeamConnect integration, only Administrators have access to the eCube. TeamConnect users can use the data exposed by the eCube but cannot view or navigate the eCube model. With appropriate permissions, users can explore eCube tables, preview data, and view column-level statistics.
Access Requirements
To use Enhanced Statistics in Data Preview:
- You must have direct access to the ElastiCube.
- In the current TeamConnect configuration:
- Administrators have access to the eCube.
- TeamConnect end users do not have access to the eCube model.
Navigating the ElastiCube Model
Once you have access, you can browse the eCube structure tables, fields, and joins.
- Open the ElastiCube Manager.
- Navigate the model to locate the table you want to analyze.

- Click on a table that needs to be analyzed, it will give an option to Analyze. Select the magnifying glass with the plus sign or "Preview" icon, the user will have two options:
- Preview
- Statistics

Preview helps displaying the data in a table format, similar to "select * from table" in sql developer:

Statistics option displays detailed profile information for each column in the selected table.

The statistics supports all datatypes that we use in the eCube:
- Number
- String
- Date
It gives the Nulls count, Distinct Values and Standard Deviation when applicable (Number and Date datatype are supported). The bar chart is also interactive. When a user highlights a bar, it will automatically apply a filter for that highlighted data. Here is an example of filter applied to PRIORITYDI=Normal:

This feature provides users with the ability to swiftly analyze, summarize, and describe data, discover patterns, and make predictions without needing to construct a full dashboard.
For instance, the statistics from the "Dispute Details" table immediately reveal the distribution of dispute priorities (Normal, Low, High). Furthermore, when a user filters the priority to "Low," the system automatically provides information on the corresponding distribution of the Jurisdiction.

Each column displays a maximum of seven values. If a column contains more than seven distinct values:
- The top seven values appear individually.
- All remaining values are grouped into an Other category.

While these capabilities are especially valuable for end users, access to the ElastiCube is currently restricted to Administrators and Hosting teams, limiting the feature's utility for its intended audience.
