Business Intelligence: Extend the options for "aggregation functions"

11 votes

Currently, the option "aggregation functions" provide three different options to handle the states in a child node:
* Sort from best to worst and take the n-th entry as state for the child node
* Sort from worst to best and take the n-th entry as state for the child node
* Set the child node state by the amount of OK states of its entries.

This may not be sufficient in all scenarios and needs to be extended.

Please leave examples in the comments, so tribe29 gets an idea of all the different use cases, that need to be considered.
