# Remote Data Binding Directive

The PivotGrid component allows you to use data from an OLAP service.

## Basic Usage

To get the PivotGrid running using the [`kendoPivotOLAPBinding`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/pivotgrid/api/pivotolapbindingdirective) directive, define the following configuration settings:

* [`url`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/pivotgrid/api/pivotolapbindingdirective#url)—the OLAP service endpoint where the data is processed.
* [`cube`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/pivotgrid/api/pivotolapbindingdirective#cube)—the cube name that is used to retrieve data.
* [`catalog`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/pivotgrid/api/pivotolapbindingdirective#catalog)—the database name used to retrieve the data from the specified connection string.
* [`columnAxes`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/pivotgrid/api/pivotolapbindingdirective#columnaxes)—the column axes configuration of the PivotGrid.
* [`rowAxes`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/pivotgrid/api/pivotolapbindingdirective#rowaxes)—the row axes configuration of the PivotGrid.
* [`measureAxes`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/pivotgrid/api/pivotolapbindingdirective#measureaxes)—the measure axes configuration of the PivotGrid.

The following demo shows how to configure the PivotGrid component.

## Loading Indicator

The OLAP data-binding directive integrates a loader indicator to inform users about the status of ongoing processes while data is being fetched from the server.

The loader's appearance can be customized by using the [`loaderSettings`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/pivotgrid/api/pivotgridcomponent#loadersettings) property which provides the following set of predefined appearance options:

* [`type`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/pivotgrid/api/loadersettings#type)
* [`themeColor`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/pivotgrid/api/loadersettings#themecolor)
* [`size`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/pivotgrid/api/loadersettings#size)
