BI Builder datasets: activities, CRM stages, and CRM item links

Datasets contain information on leads, deals, companies, and other items. Each item has multiple datasets that automatically include both standard and custom fields. Use these datasets to create charts and analyze business performance indicators.

In this article, we'll explore datasets for activities, CRM stages, and CRM item links. Learn how to blend them and how to create charts.

How to create a chart

Use datasets to create charts and check business performance. Charts can show the trends in completed activities, progress across various deal stages, and the links between CRM items.

Go to the BI Builder and follow these steps:

  1. Open the Charts tab.
  2. Click + Chart.
  3. Select the dataset from the list. If you don't see the one you need, click Add a dataset to create a new one.

  4. Choose a format for showing the data: big number, table, line chart, or others.
  5. Click Create new chart.

How to blend datasets

Combine datasets to identify which activities are linked to deals in your report.

Go to the BI Builder and do the following:

  1. Go to SQL > SQL Lab.
  2. Select the bitrix24 scheme.
  3. Enter the SQL query and click Run.

The new set includes information from the fields that you specified in the SQL query. You can save it as a dataset to create a chart for the dashboard.

If you're blending datasets for the first time, refer to the sample query.

Example of an SQL query

Here's an SQL query to extract data from two datasets: deals (crm_deal) and activities (crm_activity). You can copy it and see how it works.

The query selects a specific deal with ID 225, displaying its details, the responsible user, and a list of linked activities. Replace the deal ID with the needed one before running the query.

SELECT
    crm_deal.ID AS "Deal ID",
    crm_deal.TITLE AS "Deal name",
    crm_deal.ASSIGNED_BY AS "Responsible user",
    crm_activity.ID AS "Activity ID",
    crm_activity.SUBJECT AS "Activity name",
    crm_activity.DEADLINE AS "Activity deadline"
FROM
    crm_deal
LEFT JOIN
    crm_activity ON crm_activity.OWNER_ID = crm_deal.ID AND crm_activity.OWNER_TYPE_ID = '2'
WHERE
    crm_deal.ID = 225;

SELECT: Chooses which data to extract. For example, the SELECT crm_deal query.ID AS "Deal ID" part does the following:

  • Selects the deal ID from the crm_deal dataset
  • Assigns it the name Deal ID
  • Displays the result in a separate column

FROM: Specifies the main table for the query, such as the crm_deal table containing information about deals.

LEFT JOIN: Connects the crm_deal table to crm_activity. The query connects deals to their activities. Use LEFT JOIN to ensure no deals are missed, even if they don't have linked activities.

WHERE: Filters the query results to show only a specific deal and its activities. To get data for a different deal, replace 225 with the desired ID. To see all deals and their activities, remove the WHERE condition.


In brief

  • Datasets contain information on leads, deals, companies, and other items.

  • Each item has multiple datasets that automatically include both standard and custom fields.

  • There are three datasets for activities, CRM stages, and CRM item links: activities (crm_activity), CRM stages (crm_stages), and CRM item links (crm_entity_relation).

  • Use these datasets to create charts and analyze business performance indicators. Charts can show the trends in completed activities, progress across various deal stages, and the links between CRM items.

  • Blend datasets identify which activities are linked to deals in your report. To do this, write an SQL query, save the result as a dataset, and create a chart.
