Intended to show hierarchical information, this type is similar to Superlist. This kind of channels are only usefull when used in Axional Mobile. See Axional Mobile Catalist section for further information about Catalist Features.
1 SQL Statement
The first step is to setup the query.
The aim of this superlist is to show three graphics where the data displayed corresponds to one year sales, costs and unit sales. For this is needed to create the appropiate columns for the corresponding months and data. See the sentence used below.

There are also going to be displayed some values as in a plane list.
2 Columns headers
In this case it is important to define the column headers, those are going to group the data. To display this data as a graphic, the user must select the Render of this column header as it is shown in the picture.
3 Output Fields
In the output field the user has to add all the columns. Those have to be defined with the corresponding Header and its appropiate Render
4 Result
IMPORTANT NOTE
It must take into consideration that catalist supports some graphs depending on the result data, wherefore some types of graphics will not be represented if data is not adequate. This is the case ofPies charts, Funnels, Gauges or Radars, that will be represented as cartesian ones.
