What are Orgvue Generated Properties? – Orgvue Knowledge Base

This article explains the fields that Orgvue generates automatically and how they help.

When you upload your data to Orgvue, it automatically adds a number of calculated properties to the dataset.
These properties are there to help you analyse and work with your data. These properties can be identified in the filter control and the data panel as they appear in italics.

Below is a quick summary of each of these properties and how they can be used.

Here are the properties that are generated for all dataset types

_change – if a node has changed since the last save. When working in a dataset this property will revert to none when you save the dataset. When working in a draft this property always compares differences to the baseline dataset
_is_duplicate – boolean (true/false) property returns true if node has a non-unique id (i.e. more than one node has the same value for the ID property)
_is_unique_id – boolean (true/false) property returns true if node has a unique id
_records – gives every node a value of 1

Here are properties that are generated for hierarchical datasets only

_depth – returns the level of the node in the hierarchy. The top record has a value of 1. The Depth value increases with each subsequent level
_descendants – returns all nodes in a direct reporting line below the selected node
_subtree – returns hierarchy that includes a parent and their descendants down 3 levels
_height – the highest number of organization layers below the node (regardless of filters)
_layers – the highest number of organization levels below the node, respecting filters
_is_leaf – describes whether the node has reports. Individual contributors have a value of true. Managers are returned with a false value
_is_orphan – describes whether the node has parents. A value of true indicates the record is an individual contributor that is disconnect from any other record
_level_1 - _level_10 – returns the node of the ancestor at the specified depth
_outgoing_count – returns the number of children a node has (regardless of filters)
_span – returns the number of children a node has, respecting filters
