How to use Xano’s data aggregation features?

Step 1: Create a New Aggregation

Alright, let's get started with Xano's data aggregation! Head over to the "Aggregations" section in your Xano dashboard. Once you're there, hit the "Add New" button to set up a new aggregation.

Step 2: Select the Data Source

Next up, pick the table or collection you want to pull data from. This will be your main data source for the aggregation query.

Step 3: Define Aggregation Type

Now, decide on the type of aggregation you need. Xano gives you a bunch of options like sum, average, count, min, and max. Choose the one that suits your needs best.

Step 4: Configure Aggregation Fields

Select the specific fields or columns where you want to apply the aggregation. For example, if you picked "sum", you'll need to choose which numerical field you want to add up.

Step 5: Apply Filters (Optional)

If you need to, you can apply filters to narrow down your dataset before running the aggregation. This is handy for more specific conditions, like aggregating only the sales data from the last month.

Step 6: Group By (Optional)

Grouping is a great way to break down your aggregated data into meaningful categories. For instance, you could group sales data by region to see a regional breakdown of total sales.

Step 7: Define Output Fields

Choose the fields you want to include in the output of the aggregation. This could be the aggregated data itself and any additional fields for context.

Step 8: Save and Test

Once you've got everything set up, save your aggregation settings and run a test query. Make sure it returns the results you expect. If something's off, debug it.

Step 9: Integrate Aggregation into Workflows

Finally, integrate the aggregation into your workflows or API endpoints. This way, your applications can use the aggregated data as needed.

Step 10: Monitor and Optimize

Keep an eye on your aggregations for performance and accuracy. Optimize your queries as needed to make sure your data processing stays efficient.

By following these steps, you can make the most of Xano’s data aggregation features and get some really useful insights from your data.
