Contents
<advise>
is used within the
<segmentation>
tag to establish a relationship between the segmentation
of two columns.Example
<segmentation cols="col1,col2" [advise="0"]> <advise [sort="1"] cols="col1,col3"/> </segmentation>
The <segmentation>
block can contain an arbitrary number of
<advise>
tags. Each advise tag indicates that a particular sequence of
columns is also sortseg or segby, given the segmentation enforced in the
<segmentation>
tag’s cols
attribute. For example, if
you have your table segby "day"
, then it is probably also segby
"month"
. If for some reason you want to enforce segmentation by a
particular column (or columns), but not to include it in the list of advised columns the
"advise=0"
attribute may be included in the
<segmentation>
tag.
