This topic provides information about the elements in this window in Visma Net, such as fields, field values, buttons, and check boxes. When designing a pivot table, you select the generic inquiry fields that will provide data for analysis and for filtering. In addition, you can specify display parameters for each field that is used in the pivot table. ## The window toolbar

Date part

The part of the date field by which the system aggregates data in the pivot table. For example: If the date field contains the month and the year (such as July 2017), you can configure the system so that it aggregates data by month for multiple years.

If you want to display only the year in the headers of the pivot table, you need to select the Year value in the Round to field.

You can select one of the following values:
