Introduction
1
NetDiver is a Java-based Diver client that communicates with DiveLine by using a secure
connection through a Web server. NetDiver provides a zero-footprint client option, meaning it does
not require any software to be downloaded or installed on the user’s workstation. NetDiver
satisfies basic analytical needs, while complementing the functionality of DivePort and The Diver
Solution™.
The Diver Solution™ is Dimensional Insight’s (DI) suite of products that work together to
provide complete data reporting and analysis, as well as data transformation, administration, and
delivery. DiveLine is the server application that enables flexible, centralized administration of
users who access company data stored in DI data sets. DivePort is DI’s portal platform that
facilitates the display of key performance indicators from disparate data sources within a single
window.
NetDiver resides on a Web Application Server (For example, Apache Tomcat) and acts as a bridge
between a web browser (For example, Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox) on the
client workstation and the data residing in DI Models on a DiveLine server. DI Users with either a
General or an Advanced level of functionality have access to NetDiver, which presents the familiar
Diver interface in the browser environment. Users can dive, focus, add columns, summarize, and
save their work.

Introduction
Chapter 2
Getting Started
2
This chapter provides an overview of NetDiver. It covers:
•
Launching NetDiver
•
Opening a File
•
Saving Your Work
•
Diving Basics
Later chapters provide greater detail on NetDiver, such as: file types, display types, and working
effectively in NetDiver.
Launching NetDiver
2
NetDiver can be launched from within DivePort, DI’s Web Portal platform client, or directly from
a browser. For more information on DivePort, refer to either the DivePort User Guide or the
DivePort Administrator manual.
Launching NetDiver from DivePort
2
While in DivePort, users with General and Advanced level of functionality have access to the MY
ACCOUNT command button. When this button is clicked, the first option is to Start NetDiver.
When this option is selected, a new browser window is open to NetDiver, without requiring the
user to re-authenticate. The NetDiver window is empty. Click on Open File or Open DiveBook to
start working. See the screen shot on the following page for an example.
Getting Started
2-1
NETDIVER
Launching NetDiver
Toolbar
Open File
Open DiveBook
While in DivePort, as a General or an Advanced user, you may also have access to NetDiver from
a Click Action menu or link. In this case, the Click Action is defined for a specific Portlet instance
on the Page, so when NetDiver is launched, it opens to the same Marker that was displayed in the
Portal. For example, when a row in the following tabular is clicked, a pop-up menu appears that
lists the possible Click Actions. You can select and click on NetDiver in the pop-up menu.
2-2
Getting Started
NETDIVER
Launching NetDiver
Alternatively, the Portlet instance may display the NetDiver link at the foot of the data, allowing
access with just one click.
Either way, a new browser window or new browser session will open (depending on your browser
settings) and NetDiver will open with the same Marker file that was displayed in DivePort (as it is
saved on the DiveLine server). There is no need to log on again.
Contact your DiveLine Administrator if unsure whether you are an Advanced or General user, or
if you do not see any NetDiver references in DivePort.
Getting Started
2-3
NETDIVER
Launching NetDiver
Launching NetDiver from a Browser
2
NetDiver can be opened directly in a browser.
Ask your DiveLine Administrator for the Web address (also called the URL) for your NetDiver.
The URL depends on the name of the Web server. Below are examples of URLs pointing to
NetDiver.
Remember that the reference string is case-sensitive.
The HyperText Transfer Protocol with Secure Socket Layering (HTTPS) involves client-server
Authentication. This means that during the initial attempt to communicate with the Web server
hosting NetDiver, the server presents the browser with a “Certificate”. The Certificate is the proof
that the site is what it claims to be. When the NetDiver application is initially opened from the
browser, the following may occur:
The Security Alert dialog box displays whenever there is a problem; for example, if no certificate
is found, or if the hostname used in the URL does not match the name specified in the Certificate.
In Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0, click View Certificate to install the Certificate. In IE 7.0, click
Continue to this website and follow the pink Security Alert links until View certificates is an
option, then proceed to install the Certificate.
2-4
Getting Started
NETDIVER
Launching NetDiver
Add the Certificate to your Trusted Root Certification Authorities store or Trusted Publishers
in the browser in order to avoid acknowledging the Certificate each time you log on.
Browsers present Certificates in slightly different ways. For help accepting
your certificate, contact your administrator.
After entering the URL and accepting the Security Certificate, the browser will open to display the
NetDiver Log On screen shown below. This dialog box may have been customized for your local
installation, so it may vary slightly from this sample.
Getting Started
2-5
NETDIVER
Opening a File
When logging on to NetDiver, the Authentication process is being managed by DiveLine. To log
on
1. Enter a DiveLine username and password
2. Enter or select a DiveLine server
3. Click the Log On button
If the web browser displays the error dialog box shown below, an error was made in entering either
the username or password.
If the web browser displays the error dialog box shown below, an error was made in entering either
the server name or port number.
Click OK and re-enter the username, password, server name, or port number. If this is still not
successful, contact your DiveLine administrator to help verify the DiveLine information and
current status.
If you have been logged on to NetDiver for a period of time, but have not taken any actions, the
DiveLine connection may time out. This is a security measure. If your connection times out, the
NetDiver Log On dialog box will reappear.
The timeout period is the same as in DiveLine. By default, the idle time is not enabled for
DiveLine and its clients.
Opening a File
2
Once logged on and authenticated by DiveLine, the browser displays NetDiver. What displays first
in NetDiver depends on the user profile as established by the DiveLine Administrator, as well as
by the method used to launch NetDiver. There are four possibilities:
2-6
•
The DiveBook Select dialog box
•
The Open File dialog box
•
The Toolbar at the top of an empty Page
Getting Started
NETDIVER
DiveBook Select
•
Opening a File
The Marker file from DivePort
DiveBook Select
2
If NetDiver opens with a DiveBook, it will have a DiveBook Select dialog box similar to the one
displayed below:
If a DiveBook is displayed in NetDiver, then the DiveLine Administrator has given access to a
specific DiveBook. To open the DiveBook:
1. Choose an Area. The Area is like a folder and contains Topics. Choose a different Area
to display different Topics.
2. Select a Topic name and click OK to open the Console with the appropriate Model. If
the Topic is a Marker, then a Report, Graphic, or Tabular display also appears in the
Dive Window.
Getting Started
2-7
NETDIVER
Opening a File
DiveBook Select
In the example below, the Topic opens a Pie Chart of Revenue by Sales Region. The Console also
displays the Categories and/or Dimensions in the Model. In this example, the Sales Region
Dimension is in the History area, since it had previously been selected. For more information on
the Console, see The Console on page 3-10. For information on Models and Dimensions, see
Models and Data Types on page 4-4.
The Pie Chart can be used as a static report that provides needed information, or it can be used as
a starting point for diving. Clicking on a pie wedge, or on one of the Pie Chart legend names,
enables a dive.
2-8
Getting Started
NETDIVER
DiveBook Select
Opening a File
The pie wedge selected is separated from the rest of the chart and the Console now contains arrows
pointing downwards. The separated wedge designates the selected Dimension value, as does the
legend name in bold print. The downward arrows in the Console indicate that the Dimensions can
be dived on. If a dive is performed, the Pie Chart will change to reflect the selected data. For more
information on diving, see Diving on page 6-1. For more information on Pie Charts, see
Pie Plots on page 5-11.

If NetDiver opens with the Open File dialog box, you will see something similar to this:
Home
Up One Level
If the DiveLine Administrator has configured a Home Directory for you, the Open File dialog box
will present that directory. Navigation may or may not be possible with the Up One Level button.
The Open File dialog box lists the folders available on the DiveLine server. If clicking on a folder
does not expand it, you do not have permission to access that folder.
From this window, Marker (.mrk), DiveBook (.dbk), DivePlan (.dvp), Model (.mdl), or
Tunnel (.tnl) files can be accessed. For information on these files types, see File Types on page
4-1.
Select a file to open it. For example, click on a Model file and the Console will open displaying the
Dimensions contained in the selected Model. Diving can begin from here. Click on a Dimension
in the Console to display the Dimension’s data in a tabular format, as shown below. For example,
click once on Salesperson in the Console area.

If NetDiver is launched from a DivePort Marker Portlet instance’s Click Action, it displays the
same view of the data (for example, Report or Graphic) that appeared on the DivePort Page.
Using the NetDiver Click Action causes a new browser tab to open with NetDiver. There is no
need to re-authenticate – the same Marker file that was used in DivePort is displayed in NetDiver,
including any associated QuickViews. You can continue to dive from the NetDiver Dive Window,
select data values in the displayed Report or Graphic, and then click on the desired Dimension of
choice in the Console. In addition, clicking on the Open DiveBook button will display your
default DiveBook, as controlled by DiveLine, while clicking on the Open File button will give you
access to all other permitted DiveLine files.
Navigating in NetDiver
2
The browser communicates with the Web Server via HTTPS (or HTTP).
Navigation in NetDiver is performed by a single mouse click to select data (for example, Models,
Dimensions, values, columns, etc.) or functions (for example, Open File, Open DiveBook, Switch
to Report, etc.).
The browser Back button is not recommended for navigation purposes. It
uses browser caching to return to a previous browser screen. Many actions
in NetDiver require interaction with the server to maintain its state. The
Back button in the browser does not pass this interaction back to the server.

There are multiple ways of saving your work.
•
Save the dive as a separate Marker or as a Topic in a DiveBook.
•
Use the Open in Excel button and save the data to an Excel spreadsheet.
•
Use the Open in PDF button and save the contents of the Dive Window to a PDF file.
Once the information is in PDF, it can be opened in Adobe Acrobat, which allows easy
distribution of the file to others who may not have access to NetDiver.
•
Save a Dive Window with a one-page graphic to an image file (using the right-click
context menu in the browser) and paste it into other applications, such as Microsoft
PowerPoint (for example, Insert > Picture > From File...).
Due to NetDiver’s use of DiveLine for security, permission to save Markers may be limited. If
unable to save your work, contact your DiveLine Administrator for permission.
For more detailed information and procedures, see Saving Your Work on page 6-79.
Printing
2
NetDiver prints the current Dive Window when the browser’s File > Print option is used. For best
results with a report or dive, click on the XLS or PDF button, and print from Microsoft Excel or
Adobe Acrobat. This will ensure that the complete report or data set is printed.
Diving Basics
2
The process of diving allows you to select particular portions of the data, filtering out what is not
currently of interest. The questions that can be answered are many and varied.
For example, “What products were sold by salesperson Thomas Carroll?”. To answer this
question:
1. Open a Model for the Sales data. The Model contains the data fields, defined as
Dimensions, that can be dived on. For example, in this case, the two Dimensions of
interest are Salesperson and Product, which would be visible in the Console. The
divable status is indicated by the down arrows to the left of each Dimension name.
2. Select the Dimension Salesperson by single-clicking on it in the Console. This will
display all the data subtotaled by the Dimension Salesperson.

NETDIVER
The Toolbar
Switch the view to Tabular
The Tabular display is the default view shown when a dive is initially performed. It looks like a
spreadsheet with the familiar row-and-column layout. If the current view is a Graphic, MultiTab,
CrossTab, MultiCrossTab, or Report, clicking the Switch to Tabular button will convert it to a
plain Tabular view. For more information, see Tabular on page 5-2.
Switch the view to MultiTab
The Switch to MultiTab function can be used to display up to 32 Dimensions at a time with all
data elements and combinations also visible. It facilitates adding Dimensions from the Console
Window to the current display. For more information, see MultiTab on page 5-3.
Switch the view to CrossTab
The CrossTab display combines two Dimensions in one table: the vertical one has it values as
rows and the horizontal one has its values as columns. When this button is clicked, NetDiver opens
a CrossTab input dialog box that allows selection of the two Dimensions. See CrossTab on page
5-4 for more information.
Switch the view to MultiCrossTab
The MultiCrossTab display combines the functionality of the MultiTab with that of the CrossTab.
When this button is clicked, NetDiver opens a MultiCrossTab dialog box that allows selection of
the horizontal Dimension and one or multiple Summaries. For more information, see
MultiCrossTab on page 5-5.
Switch the view to a Graph
Click this button to change the view to a Basic, Cross, Stack, Pie, or Scatter graphic display. Basic
Plots include Bar, Line, and Point Graphs. For more information, see Basic Plots on page 5-8.
3-4
NETDIVER
The Toolbar
Cross Plots can also be in the form of Bar, Line, and Point graphs. They are the graphic equivalent
of CrossTabs, showing the intersection of two Dimensions with one data element. For more
information, see Cross Plots on page 5-9.
The Stack Plot is used to demonstrate a specific portion of a particular value. Like Basic Plots,
Stack Plots display a series of plotted points on a quantitative axis. They display only one
Summary element at a time. For more information, see Stack Plots on page 5-10.
The Pie Chart is used to demonstrate the division of a finite quantity among a number of
Dimension values. For more information, see Pie Plots on page 5-11.
The Scatter Plot is used to display a number’s value relative to other numbers (for example,
Revenue vs. Cost, Height vs. Weight, Profit vs. Sales). Scatter Plot types include Point, Line, and
Bubble. For more information, see Scatter Plots on page 5-12.
Switch the view to a Report
In either a Tabular or Graphic display, click this button to generate a Report. A sample Report is
shown below.
For more information on switching to a Report format, see Reports on page 6-55. Once the Dive
Window shows a Report, diving can continue as in a Tabular display. Select a Dimension value in
the first column of the Report shown in the Dive Window and then click a Dimension in the
Console to dive.

NETDIVER
The Toolbar
Flip Table or Graph Axes
Click this button to swap the vertically displayed information with the horizontally displayed
information. Each time this command is used, the axes will flip again, so an even number of uses
will put the display back to where it started. All selections are preserved during a flip, even if items
were sorted. Every type of graphic display can be flipped except for a Pie Chart. Flipping a graph
switches the horizontal axis with the vertical axis. For example, in a Tabular or CrossTab display,
the columns become rows and the rows become columns.
Focus/Stop Focus
Use Focus as a way of looking at a subset of data. Focus provides a subtotal for the data columns
of the selected rows. In the figure below, the Dive Window at the top left represents the selection
of the Dimensions, and the Dive Window at the bottom right displays the effects of using Focus.
See Focus on page 6-12 for more information.
Group/Stop Group
Use Group to treat multiple Dimension values as a single unit. The Group function allows
continuation of a dive, either on one Dimension value or on the group. See Group on page 6-15
for more information.

The Toolbar
Sort Up
This option sorts the selected column in ascending order. If numerical, the minimum value moves
to the top row, while the maximum value moves to the bottom row. If text, the order is alphabetical,
with A at the top and Z at the bottom. If multiple columns are selected, Sort Up is disabled. See
Sort on page 6-17 for more information.
Sort Down
This option sorts the selected column in descending order. If numerical, the minimum value moves
to the bottom row, while the maximum value moves to the top row. If text, the order is alphabetical
with A at the bottom and Z at the top. If multiple columns are selected, Sort Down is disabled. See
Sort on page 6-17 for more information.
Find
This option searches a column in the Dive Window for desired text, numbers, or dates. There are
specific dialog boxes for each search type: Find String, Find Numeric, and Find Date. See Find on
page 6-17 for more information on how to use this feature.
In a Tabular, CrossTab, or MultiTab window, Find locates one or more rows within a single
column. If exactly one column label is selected, Find searches that column. If no columns are
selected, Find searches the leftmost column (the row labels). If more than one column label is
selected, Find is not available.
Show the Console
This option displays the Console window if it has been hidden, hides it if it is displayed.
Proxy
The Proxy button allows an administrative user or a subadministrator to log on as another user and
see what they see. Entry of a DiveLine password is not required. The Proxy button lets you revert
to the original session. This button only appears for Administrator Users.

A Model, Marker, DivePlan, or Tunnel file is selected from the Open File dialog box.
•
The Show Console button is clicked in the Toolbar.
•
A Topic from a DiveBook is selected and opened.
Dive Tabs
Model name
Categories
Dimensions
The Console’s structure is similar to the tree structure of Windows Explorer. Plus (+) and minus (-)
signs indicate if there is a Dimension list under a particular Category. Categories are represented
by grey folders and are used to organize the Dimensions. If needed, the Console may have vertical
and horizontal scroll bars. Note that four different dives can be performed: Dive A through Dive
D. A dive is a series of steps taken to select a sequence of Dimensions and values, such that the
view of the data is more detailed for a smaller range of information in the Model. The four Dive
tabs let you follow four different Dive paths.
If the Console is not visible, click the Show Console button in the Toolbar to display it.
For each Dive Tab, the Console displays the Dive session in four areas:
• History • Models
• Info • Time Series Info
Each will be discussed in the following sections. (For information on Report Palettes, refer to the
Diver manuals.)

The History area is displayed at the top of the Console. It has a plus (+) to the left of the title to
indicate that it is collapsed, or a minus (-) to indicate that it is expanded.
The History area displays all the current dive information. Information about Grouping and
Focusing is also shown. In this example, the History shows that a dive has been performed on
Sales Region, and that some rows were Focused and Grouped.

If you are viewing a multi-level dive, such as the one for Fagin’s Milk Customers, it is possible to
display the same dive for a different selection higher up the hierarchy without going through all the
previous steps again. This is called cascading. For example, to see Lombardi’s Milk Customers,
double-click on Salesperson in the History area of the Console to return to the first dive, then
double-click on Lombardi. The dives will immediately “cascade”, so that dives on Milk and
Customer will be automatically updated.

Models Area
The Console
Models Area

The Models area is located below the History area. It consists of Model names, Categories, and
Dimensions. Models can contain Categories, and each Category can contain Dimensions.
Categories are optional.
In the figure below, Categories are displayed as folders that contain Dimensions (as indicated by
the + signs) in the Console on the left, while the Console on the right displays only Dimensions,
without Categories.
Models – contain the data to dive on. They are identified in the Console with a red sphere.
Multiple Models can be opened in the Console at one time. To close an individual Model,
click the small grey x to the right of the Model name.
Categories – folders that help to organize the Dimensions. Dimensions may or may not be
grouped by Categories.
Dimensions – fields used to answer business questions. If a dive has been performed, the
Dimension that was dived on is displayed in the History area. When Dimensions are available
for diving they are displayed with a gray down arrow.
The DimCount (Dimension Count), the numeric value in parentheses to the right of each
Dimension, indicates the number of unique values that remain for each Dimension (relative to

another Dimension). For example, in the Console shown next, the initial dive was made on
Salesperson Baker with a double-click. The number in parentheses displayed next to each
Dimension indicates the specific amount of data available for Baker. The numbers change to
reflect the selected Dimension value. A single click does not update the DimCounts. Note that
Large Models may take a moment to calculate and display the numbers.

For example, in the Console shown below, the dive on Sales Region was followed by a selection
of Mountain West. Then a dive on Sales Branch was followed with a double-click on the Sales
Branch Dimension value Omaha. The information fields attached to the Omaha Sales Branch are
listed in the Console Info area. They are: Branch Manager, Branch Address1, Branch
Address2, and Branch Phone. Descriptions or codes are typical Info Fields.

The Time Series Info area appears at the bottom of the Console. It serves several purposes. First,
it displays what time-based Dimension, such as Date, Month, or Quarter, was used to create a
comparison. Second, it tells you when a defined Period starts and ends. In this example, the
time-based Dimension is Ship Month and it begins January 1, 2009 and ends June 30, 2009. Next,
the Time Series Info area displays what comparison is being made, such as Current vs. Prior,
Year-to-Date vs. Last Year-to-Date, etc. Finally, the Built Columns and Data Columns being

A browser status bar, much like the status bar familiar to Diver users is available in NetDiver. The
status of the current dive will be displayed in the lower right portion of the Browser window, and
appears as shown below:
The first part of the status bar (381 Rows), displays the total number of rows in the current Dive
window. The second portion (Totals-30), indicates the rows that are currently visible in the Dive
window; in this example, the Totals row through row 30 are visible.
In order to see the row count, the user may need to change the browser
settings for the status bar. For example, in Mozilla Firefox, go to Tools >
Options > Content, and check “Enable JavaScript”. Then click Advanced...,
and check “Change status bar text”.

The Dive Window is where all the data is viewed in a Graphic, Tabular, or Report format.
When a Model or DivePlan is first opened, the Dimensions are displayed in the Console with
arrows pointing downwards, indicating that they can be dived on. The Model or DivePlan may
have grouped the Dimensions into Categories represented by folders. These folders need to be
opened in order to see the down arrows.
When a Dimension is clicked on in the Console, the data is displayed in the Dive Window. The
data set is presented with the values that exist in the Dimension selected. Further diving restricts
or filters the data. As the Dive Window opens, the arrows are no longer displayed in the Console
since the Dimensions are not available for diving. In order to continue diving, a value needs to be
selected from the Dive Window. Once a value is selected, the down arrows reappear in the
Console.

DI File Types
File Types

There are five major Dimensional Insight file types that are used by NetDiver:
•
Models
•
DivePlans
•
Markers
•
DiveBooks
•
Tunnel files
Models (.mdl)
4
The Model is the basis for the “sea of information” available to NetDiver. It contains all the
information that the user will dive on. It is an extract of the organization’s data that has been
transformed into a highly indexed and summarized format. One or more Models may be created
for diving. They contain the Dimensions, Summaries, and Info Fields specific to the organization’s
data needs. Models are created by developers during the build process.
DivePlans (.dvp)
4
The DivePlan file is used to save a “lens” for viewing one or more Models. It does not contain any
data – only instructions telling NetDiver how to present the data from a Model or Models to the
users. It records the set of columns that are displayed in the tabular window, the definitions of any
calculated fields, Dynamic Dimensions, Categories, Lookup Tables, and Models. The set of
columns, including data, text info, and calculated fields, also determines what elements are
available for CrossTabs and Graphs. For more detailed information on any of these terms, refer to
the Diver manuals.
DI File Types
4-1
NETDIVER
File Types
Markers (.mrk)
When a saved DivePlan is opened, it is loaded into NetDiver along with the corresponding
Model(s). If the DivePlan gets moved to another directory or folder, and can no longer find the
Model(s), there will be a prompt to set the location of the Model(s) to use. A DivePlan cannot be
created and saved in NetDiver – it can only be used. DivePlans must be created and saved initially
in ProDiver, DI-Diver, or DiveMaster.
Markers (.mrk)
4
A Marker file is used to save the steps of a dive. Unlike DivePlans, the specific details of the
window are also saved. Size, position, selection, fonts, focus, and orientation (horizontal vs.
vertical) are all included in the Marker. Saving a Marker is like saving a bookmark in a web
browser: it returns exactly to the point saved. The Marker contains a record summarizing all the
actions taken so far in the dive. A Marker, like a DivePlan, does not store any data. If the Model is
updated and a previously saved Marker is opened, NetDiver shows the same dive as before, but
with updated data from the Model. Markers can be created and saved in NetDiver. See Saving
Your Work on page 6-79 for more information.
DiveBooks (.dbk)
4
A DiveBook arranges files into groups using titles that are free from the length and naming
restrictions that filenames impose. DiveBooks organize DivePlans and Markers into Areas and
Topics so that they are easier to find and access. Areas are like folders and Topics, which are
contained in Areas, are like files. To open a DiveBook, select it from the Open File dialog box, or
use the DiveBook button to display the default assigned by the DiveLine Administrator. This will
display the DiveBook Select dialog box (shown below), which lists the Areas and Topics
contained in the DiveBook.

Tunnel Files (.tnl)
File Types
Click an Area title to change the displayed Topics. To open a Topic, select a Topic name and click
OK. Only one DiveBook can be opened at a time.
DiveBooks, like DivePlans and Markers, do not store data. When these files are opened, all
underlying Models are automatically opened as well.
You can save changes to a DiveBook in NetDiver. See Saving Your Work on page 6-79 for more
information.
Tunnel Files (.tnl)
4
Tunnel functionality allows the user to request data directly from a source for immediate display
in NetDiver. A Tunnel file holds a script for an output object written in the DI Object Language.
The Tunnel script can access data contained in flat files, Models, or an SQL database, and then use
other Integrator objects to process the data. Real-time data can be filtered based on user selections.
The Tunnel script describes what data should be returned, and what columns should be
Dimensions, Summaries, and/or Info Fields (see Models and Data Types on page 4-4). A Tunnel
script is saved with a .tnl file extension. When opened in NetDiver, this file sends a request to
DiveLine to open and run the Tunnel script. DiveLine returns the data back to NetDiver. A Tunnel
file can be used in the same way as a Model file, for example, in Markers and DivePlans.

At the core of the DI product family is the multi-dimensional Model. The Model is built using DI’s
patented cross-indexing technology that allows large amounts of data to be summarized, indexed,
and transformed into a “free-form”, multi-dimensional data structure that allows fast access from
NetDiver and other DI products. The Model’s flexible structure and architecture allow it to scale
and evolve as the data is explored and understood.
There are three data types contained in a Model:
•
Dimension – the dive field
•
Summary – the numeric data
•
Info Field – additional data related to a Dimension value
Dimension
4
Any field categorized as a Dimension becomes one of the dive options in the Console window of
NetDiver. In the Dive Window, each value of a particular Dimension is a single item: one row in a
tabular, one bar in a graph, one point in a line or scatter plot, one wedge in a pie, etc. Each
Dimension represents a different method of organizing and looking at the data. Examples of types
of data that might be qualified as Dimensions are: Name, Company, Part Number, Salesperson,
Product Group, Month, Hospital, Attending Physician, Diagnosis Group, and ER Procedure.
Summary
4
Summary fields are numerical. Mathematical calculations can be done on these fields. Some types
of information that might be qualified as Summaries are: Cost, Quantity Sold, Revenue, Cases
Shipped, Surgical Days, Discharges, and ER Visits.
Info Fields
4
Fields containing extra information related to a Dimension are defined as Info Fields. For example,
in a Model containing sales information, a branch manager’s name could be an Info Field that is
attached to the Branch Name Dimension. In a Model containing hospital information, the ethnic
origin could be an Info Field attached to the Patient Dimension. Descriptions or codes are typical
types of Info Fields.

MultiTab needs to be created first, so the desired Dimensions can be selected for the Tabular
display. Then the MultiCrossTab is applied, facilitating the selection of multiple Summaries, to be
shown horizontally for another Dimension. The sample below shows the results of diving on
Salesperson, MultiTabbing Product Family, then MultiCcrossTabbing the Cost Total and
Revenue Total Summaries across the YearMo. See MultiTab-MultiCrossTab on page 6-52.

containing a Map. Calendar, Control Chart, and Radar Graph Markers can be opened, but the
display is locked and graphic tools are unavailable. For these three display types, the initial display
must be switched to a Tabular before diving is enabled.
There are five types of graphic displays that can be created in NetDiver:
•
Basic Plots

NetDiver has been launched. A Marker has been opened to a Report or Graphic display. Or perhaps
a Model was opened, a Dimension selected in the Console, and the data shown in a Tabular display.
What next? Diving can continue. The data can be filtered, focused, grouped, or sorted, further
refining the data set until your needs are met. The presentation can be switched to a Report or
Graph, and the resulting view can be saved for future use.
This chapter provides more information on diving and manipulating data, generating reports and
graphic displays, and options for saving your work and capturing the data.
Diving
6
In NetDiver, as in other DI clients, diving is the process of filtering data in order to create a
parent-child relationship. As the dive goes deeper into the data, the view details a smaller range of
information. Each dive filters out unnecessary data, allowing focused analysis of the results. The
starting point for an initial dive is a DI data Model.
When a Model is opened, the Console is displayed on the right side of the NetDiver window.
Working in NetDiver

Diving
Next to each Dimension is a DimCount. These numbers indicate the volume of data in the Model.
For example, the Model demo_drs.mdl, shown above, has 373 Customers, 60 Salespersons,
and 2,296 Order Numbers.
The first click on one of the Dimensions in the Console performs the initial dive. The data is
displayed in a Tabular format in the Dive Window. For example, clicking on the Dimension
Salesperson in the sample Console will display the following Dive Window.

Console
Notice that before the Dimension was clicked (see the screen capture on the previous page), there
were arrows pointing downwards in the Console. When a Dimension is selected and the data is
displayed in the Dive Window, the Console’s appearance changes (see above). This is because the
Console is unavailable for diving until another value is selected. To select a value, click on a row
in the leftmost Dimension column of the Dive Window.
To continue the example with the initial dive on Salesperson, and to select a single Salesperson
value for further diving, click on the Dimension value (for example, “Baker”) in the Salesperson
column.
To see the DimCounts for Salesperson “Baker”, double-click.

The Dive Window shows that the value “Baker” is selected by highlighting it. Another click on
“Baker” will update the Console to display the records and count of records that are particular to
“Baker”. Click on one of the Dimensions in the Console to dive further into Baker’s data. For
example, a click on the Dimension Product Family will display the following screen.

The Dive Window displays the Product Families that “Baker” has sold. To dive down again, select
a value from the Dive Window. After selecting a value in the Dive Window, select a Dimension in
the Console to dive on. Repeat this process of diving from the Console and Dive Window until the
desired results are reached. Keep refining the data by continuing to dive down into it. Keep in mind
that closing a Dive Window (using the X in the upper right-hand corner) undoes the last dive step.

QuickViews are an easy way to access several Dimension values at once. They redefine the way
information is accessed. They allow users to see exactly where they are, as well as where they
might want to go, within the data. QuickViews are only available if an existing Marker has been
generated and saved with them.
There are two types of QuickViews in NetDiver:
•
Pulldown QuickViews
•
Picklist QuickViews
Pulldown QuickViews

The Pulldown QuickView allows selection of a particular Customer value from the list of 408
values. For example, selecting “512 -- Marigold Foods” and clicking the Go button (if present),
cascades the Salesperson Tabular to show only the Salespeople for the Customer Marigold Foods.

The example in the figure above shows a Picklist QuickView for Customer on the left side. The
Picklist area cannot be moved or resized. It can be used to select a particular Customer by clicking
on the name in the Picklist. Multiple items can also be selected. To select contiguous values, hold
down the Shift key and click the desired values. If the desired values are scattered in the Picklist,
select them by holding down the Ctrl key while clicking on them. Once the selection or selections
are made, click Go to dive on those items. This causes the associated Dive Window to cascade.
If the Go button is not present, contact the originator of the current Marker
(i.e. a Go button allows you to select multiple values from the Picklist).

Diving is the process of filtering data to create parent-child relationships from one Dive Window
to the next. This usually involves manipulating the data in order to view a specific subset.
NetDiver has several functions which can be used in conjunction with one another to refine the
selected data set, as well as the data display. The table below provides a summary description;
more detailed information follows.

$300,000, start by diving on Salesperson to display all Salespeople.
By sorting the Revenue column from highest to lowest, selecting those Salespeople whose
Revenue is greater than $300,000 becomes simple. To sort:

Focus
Focus is used in different ways with various display types. Follow these guidelines:
•
Tabular – Select the row(s) of interest. Click Focus. The focused window displays
Subtotals as opposed to Totals, because the Summary row at the top of the table is no
longer totaling an entire Dimension. The subtotals are computed only from the items
in focus.
•
Plot – Select the bar(s) or point(s) of interest and choose Focus. This displays the plot
with only the desired values of the Dimension. Works analogously to the Tabular
windows.
•
Scatter – Changes the chart to make the unselected points invisible. To make the
selected points more visible, it may be necessary to rescale the chart.
Focus can be used on selected columns as well as rows.
When a Focus is part of the dive path, then no rows or columns can be
added.

Group of Dimension values (10 different names in this example). This updates the
Console for the whole Group as though it were a single Dimension value.
Only one Group per Dive Window can exist.
4. Click the Group button to begin the ungrouping action by converting the existing Group
into a selected Focus. The Group label changes to Subtotals and the Focus button
becomes available. A new Group can now be created with another set of selected values,
or Focus can be used to undo the Group action in the display and return to all Dimension
values.
Sort

The Sort buttons reorder the selected Dive Window by the ascending (0-9, A-Z, followed by a-z)
or descending (9-0, Z-A, followed by z-a) order of the selected column. If no column is selected,
the leftmost Dimension column is used.
Quickly find the highest and lowest values in the data set by using the Sort Up
buttons. The Totals row remains unchanged.
Find
or Sort Down
6
Find searches a column in a Dive Window for specific text, numbers, dates, or periods. These can
be:
•
Dimension values
•
Summary data
•
Info Field values.
Any selection of a column is done by highlighting the label of that column. In a Tabular, CrossTab,
or MultiTab window, Find locates one or more rows within a single column. If exactly one column
is selected, Find searches that column. If no columns are selected, Find searches the leftmost
column (the row labels). If more than one column label is selected, Find is not available.
In a Graph, Scatter Plot, or Pie Chart, Find locates one or more graphical elements by the names
of the Dimension Values. The found items can be points, bars, pie wedges, or a combination of
points and bars. To find items by values, switch back to a Tabular display.

ABS(x) - returns the absolute value of a number.
AND(bool_expr1, bool_expr2) - Used with IF. Returns the logical AND of the two boolean
expressions. It will return True if both expressions are True. Otherwise, it will return False.
For example:

if(and(Total[Revenue]>100000000,
Total[Revenue]<200000000),1,0)

This calculation says that, if the Total[Revenue] is both larger than 100,000,000 and
smaller than 200,000,000, the value of the calculation will be 1. Summing this column will
give you a count of cases that meet the condition.
ARCCOS(x) - Standard trigonometric ArcCosine function.
ARCSIN(x) - Standard trigonometric ArcSine function.
ARCTAN(x) - Standard trigonometric ArcTangent function.
CONCAT(str1, str2,...) - Combines any number of textual arguments, all of which are
strings, and combines them into one new column. For example:

concat(“ab”, “c”, “ ”, “defg”) will return “abc defg”.
An example of the usefulness of this function would be to combine a column containing
First Name with the column containing Last Name, in order to create a new column
containing Full Name.

Functions
DATE_VALUE(date, "input_format") - Accepts a date and a string describing the date
format (for example, YYYY/MM/DD), and returns the number of days since December 31,
1899. For example, the date 1900/01/01 (January 1, 1900) will give the value 2. To find the
number of days between two dates, subtract the date_value of one from the date_value of
the other.
DATE_VALUE uses the following characters as placeholders to indicate values:
y – represents a year digit
m – represents a month digit
d – represents a day digit
For dates after February 1900, this function will return the same serial number returned by
Microsoft Excel’s 1900 date system. Note that Microsoft Excel incorrectly treats 1900 as a
leap year.
EXP(x,y) - Exponential (raise X to the Y power).
FORMAT_DATE(date,"output_format") - Accepts an integer which is the number of
days since December 31, 1899 and a string describing the desired format, and returns the
same date in the specified format. For example:
format_date(37000,“mm-dd-yyy”)
would return
“04-19-2002”
Its purpose is the reverse of the DATE_VALUE function above.
FORMAT_DATE uses the following characters as placeholders to indicate values:
y – represents a year 
m – represents a month 
d – represents a day
January 01, 1900 returns DATE_VALUE 2 and is the earliest date Diver will display.

FORMAT_TIME( ) - Converts a number of seconds to a time format as specified by a
format string (“HH:MM:SS” or “HH:MM”).
format_time(5000,“HH:MM:SS”) returns 1:23:20
IF(condition, then expression, else expression) - The condition argument of an IF function
is a comparison of expressions using the < (less than), > (greater than), <= (less than or
equal to), >= (greater than or equal to), = (equals), and != (does not equal) operators. If any
of the expressions is non-numeric, then the comparison will be a case-sensitive string
comparison. Otherwise, it will be a numeric comparison. For example:
Create a new calculation containing:
if(Total[Revenue]>100000,1,0)
In this example, the condition is Total Revenue > 100000. If that condition is met, the value
in the calculation will be 1. If it is not met, the value in the calculation will be 0.
The following is also acceptable:
if(Total[Revenue]>100000,“Goal Met”)
In this example, the condition is Total Revenue > 100000. If that condition is met, the value
in the calculation will display “Goal Met”.
An IF calculation can also be nested within another IF calculation, as follows:
if(Total[Revenue]=1000,“Threshold Met”,
if(Total[Revenue]>=5000,“Goal Exceeded”,“Goal Failed”))
There are two conditions in this example. The first condition says that if Total Revenue
equals 1000, then the value in the calculation will be “Threshold Met”. If the first IF
condition is not met, then the second condition says that if Total Revenue >= 5000, then the
value in the calculation will be “Goal Exceeded” if it is met, or “Goal Failed” if it is not met.

Manipulating Data
Functions
ISNAN(<field>) - Returns 1 if there is a blank value or character in a field due to a
mathematical error; otherwise, it returns 0. A tabular value may be blank for the following
reasons: the result of a calculation is undefined due to division by zero, using a function
with invalid arguments (like LOG10(-1)), or encountering a blank ELSE clause in an IF()
function. If a value is the result of a mathematical error or a blank ELSE clause in a
calculation, then the function ISNAN() (which stands for “is not a number”) of that value
will return 1; otherwise it will return 0.
ISNULL( ) - If a field is blank, ISNULL returns 1; otherwise, it returns 0. A tabular value
may be blank if the underlying data does not exist (this can happen only in a CrossTab or
in a MultiModel). If a value does not exist in the Model, the function ISNULL() of that
column will return 1 for the blank value; otherwise it will return 0.
LN(x) - Natural logarithm Base e.
LOG10(x) - Log base 10.
MILES(lat1, long1, lat2, long2) - Calculates the distance in miles between two points on
earth. Latitude and longitude should be specified in decimal degree format.
NOT(bool_expr) - Used with IF. Returns the logical NOT of the boolean expression. If
bool_expr is True, it returns False. If bool_expr is False, it returns True. For example:
if(not(Total[Revenue]=100000000),1,0)
This example shows that if Total[Revenue] is not exactly 100,000,000, the value in
the calculation will be 0. If Total[Revenue] is exactly 100,000,000, the value will be 1.
OR(bool_expr1, bool_expr2) - Used with IF. Returns the logical OR of the two boolean
expressions. It will return True if either expression is True. Otherwise it will return False.
For example:
if(or(Total[Revenue]<100000000,Total[Revenue]>200000000),1,0

In this example, if Total[Revenue] is either less than 100,000,000 or greater than
200,000,000 (but not in between), the value of the calculation will be 1.
PARENT( ) - Returns the Total value from the column row in the parent Dimension. For
example, in the image below, Annual Revenue Total repeats the column total for Revenue
by Region using the PARENT function.
parent(Total[Revenue])
This display allows you to visually compare the Revenue by Region with Annual
Revenue Total. 
PCT_VAR( ) - Expresses the difference between two values as a percentage. The
PCT_VAR function is defined as:
pct_var(a,b)=((a-b)/ABS(b)*100)
SCAN (string, token_number, delimiters) - Parses the string into separate tokens
(substrings) based on the set of characters in delimiters, and return the token indicated by
token_number, with the first token identified by 1. This function will also accept negative
token numbers and interpret them as tokens from the end of the string, for example,: -1
would indicate the last token, -2 would indicate the next-to-last token. If the number is so
negative that it identifies a token before the first token, then a null string is returned. If
delimiters is omitted, it defaults to spaces.
For example:
scan(“first, second, third”, 2,“,”) --> second 
scan(“foo bar”,4) --> (i.e. the null string)
scan(“foo|bar/baz”,3,“|/”) --> baz

SIGN(x) - Returns 1 for positive, -1 for negative, and 0 for zero.
SIN(x) - Standard trigonometric Sine function.
SQRT(x) - Standard Square Root function.
STRING( ) - Allows you to treat a column containing numeric values as if it contained
string values.
In the following example, Units Total contains numbers. Attempting to concatenate with
some text gives an error of “Bad Type”:
concat(Units Total, “sometext”)
The following example, using the string function, will allow the concatenation:
concat(string(Units Total), “sometext”)
SUBSTR(string, start_pos, num_chars) - Allows you to separate a portion of a string from
the rest of it. It accepts two or three arguments: the string (from the input column), the
character in the string to begin with (the first character is 1), and the number of characters
to return (this argument is optional). If num_chars is given, up to that number of characters
is returned. If it is not included, substring will return all characters in the string beginning
with the starting position.
substr(“this is a test”,2,5) will return “his i”
substr(“this is a test”,3) will return “is is a test”. 
For example, the SUBSTRING function would be useful if Part Number and Part
Description were already concatenated in the input file in a column named Parts. If the
part number were the first 4 characters, the function substr(Parts,1,4) would create
a new column containing just part numbers.

TRUNC() - Removes all digits to the right of the decimal point without rounding. For
example:
TRUNC(Total[Actual Dollars]) 

where:
(Total[Actual Dollars]) = 63.75 returns 63
VALUE() - Allows you to treat a column containing string values as if it contained numeric
values.
In the following example, suppose Quarter contained just the number of the quarter;
however, it was set up in the Model as a string. Attempting to add one to the value in
Quarter gives an error of “Bad Type”:

Graphic formats can be useful for quick visualization of the data. Bar charts and line plots are best
for communicating trends and generalities. Scatter formats are usually best for the analyst who has
time to study the data and wants to locate exceptions in large data sets. Pie charts are good for
small data sets or comparisons within a set. Each is described in more detail on the following
pages.
Bar, Line, and Point Graphs all display a series of plotted points. A Bar Graph contains a bar
plotted on an axis, showing the magnitude of that particular value. A Line Graph connects the
points with a series of line segments. A Point Graph shows the data points plotted in the X and Y

When the value of an individual number relative to another number is important, Scatter Plots are
useful. Use a Scatter Plot to show the relationship between two Summaries for a selected
Dimension. The data points are placed on horizontal and vertical axes. Thousands of rows of data
can be viewed in a single window. A row is represented by a single point in the Scatter Plot.
Diving from a Scatter chart is nearly identical to diving from a Tabular window, and it produces a
new Dive window in the same format. Click on a point in the Scatter Plot to select that value.
To create a Scatter Plot:
1. Select Scatter Plots from the Step 1 - Select Graph Type dialog box.
2. Choose a Type, and click Next to display the Step 2 - Set Data Attributes dialog box.
3. Set the X (horizontal) and Y (vertical) Axis Columns from the pulldown lists. If Bubble
was selected as the Plot Type, a Z-Axis is also required.

Markers and DiveBooks
Saving Your Work

There are multiple ways of saving your work. A dive can be saved:
•
As a Marker or as a Topic in a DiveBook
•
Exported to Microsoft Excel
•
Opened in Adobe Reader
•
Copied and pasted into other applications.
Due to NetDiver’s use of DiveLine for security, you may not be permitted to save Markers. If you
are unable to save, contact your DiveLine Administrator for permission.
6
A Marker is used like a bookmark. It holds the current place in a dive, including size, position,
selection, fonts, focus and orientation (portrait vs. landscape). The Marker contains a record
summarizing all the actions taken so far. It does not save the data. If the Model the dive is based
on is updated, and a previously saved Marker is opened, NetDiver shows the same dive, but the
data has been updated.
A DiveBook arranges Markers and DivePlans into Categories using user-friendly titles. When the
work is saved in a DiveBook, a new Topic should be created in the DiveBook.
Saving a Marker File
1. Click the Save Marker button
dialog box.

Saving Your Work
While you can browse using the folder pulldown, or the Up One Level button
, you
can only save the Marker in a directory that you have permissions for under DiveLine. If
you have problems saving your Marker in a particular directory, consult with your
DiveLine Administrator.
2. Enter a Name for the file and then click Save. The action is taken and the dialog box is
dismissed.
Saving a Marker to a DiveBook
When you have a DiveBook open, the Save into DiveBook button
6
is available in the Toolbar.
1. Click the Save into DiveBook button. This displays the Save Marker into DiveBook 
dialog box.
2. The Name and Area values default to the last item opened from the DiveBook. Enter a
new Name for the Topic.
3. Select an Area from the Area pulldown list, where the Marker is to be saved.
4. Click OK. This saves the Marker as a Topic, with the specified name, in the Area
selected, in the current DiveBook. If you failed to enter a new Name and/or select a
different Area, you will see a warning about overwriting an existing Marker. You can
Cancel or click OK.

with access to Adobe Acrobat Reader. Acrobat Reader is available without charge for any platform
from Adobe. Visit the web site http://www.adobe.com.
