Grouping by Category

Any attribute or telemetry field from your business entity model can be placed on an axis or used as a grouping dimension. Trendz automatically splits the data into separate groups per distinct value and applies the configured aggregation within each group — no pre-computed rollups or Rule Engine rules needed.

In a Smart Energy scenario, adding Building name to the X-axis and Energy Consumption to the Y-axis is enough to see total consumption per building. Trendz resolves which energy meters belong to each building through the topology relations and sums their readings automatically.

A second grouping dimension can be added alongside the first. Adding a Date field with the QUARTER aggregation type breaks each building bar into quarterly segments, showing how consumption is distributed across the year.

Grouping is not limited to the entity the telemetry belongs to. Any attribute from any entity in the topology can be used. Adding the Room Number attribute from the Apartment business entity groups consumption at the room level — Trendz traverses the Building → Apartment → Energy Meter relation chain and applies the aggregation at the chosen granularity.

Multiple grouping fields can be combined in a single view. Trendz resolves all required relations and applies the aggregation function for each resulting group in real time.
