How to use List Views.

How to Build a List View Tile

A List View can be built to visualize categorical fields. You can identify categorical fields via the
label in the field list.
Categorical fields with a simpler structure can also be visualized as Row Charts.
Supported Field Types
​
 Categorical
​
 Categorical Multiple
​
 Categorical Hierarchical
​
 Categorical Hierarchical Multiple

Using List View in the Cohort Browser

The Example below is field Main ICD-10 Diagnoses visualized as a list view.
Field categories are shown as line items in a list, along with count / percentage of records that fall under each category. For example, the chart shows 25,961 patients have been diagnosed with "Chapter II: Neoplasms", which is 25.96% of current cohort size.
Categories with children categories can be further expanded to reveal further levels of hierarchy.
Browsing in List View of ICD-10 Codes
You can also quickly narrow down to a smaller set of items by searching a particular keyword.
Searching in List View
For non-hierarchical fields, the list is sorted by Count to help identify the top items within a given cohort selection. The following field Treatment/Medication Code for example, lists the most frequently taken medications among the current cohort selection.
Example List View: Treatment / Medication Code

Visualize Multiple Fields

List Views can also be used to visualize combination of two categorical fields with limited number of categories. Same combination can also be visualized as Stacked Row Charts.
Below is an example of combining categorical field Gender and another categorical field Coffee Types. Categories under secondary field Coffee Types are shown as sub-categories of that under primary field Sex. From this example chart, we know that within current cohort selection, "Instant coffee" is the most used coffee type among female patients.
Example List View: Gender x Coffee Types

List View in Cohort Compare

In Cohort Compare mode, the List View shows a column per each cohort in the current session.
The percentage calculation may use different denominator per each cohort. In the example list view shown using Treatment/Medication Code, 8.6% of patients in the cohort Case have taken paracetamol, while 18.66% of patients in the cohort Control have taken the same medicine.

Notes on Data Preparation

​Ingestion Data Types supported as single-variable List Views:
    String Categorical
    String Categorical Hierarchical
    String Categorical Multi-Select
    String Categorical Multi-Select Hierarchical
    String Categorical Sparse
    String Categorical Sparse Hierarchical
    Integer Categorical
    Integer Categorical Hierarchical
    Integer Categorical Multi-Select
    Integer Categorical Multi-Select Hierarchical
While _sparse serial types are supported as List Views, the non-encoded values are not yet supported by List Views and will not appear as line items in the chart.
