Create a Chart from a Report
Create charts and graphs based on the output of a report. Charts can be displayed on your dashboard for a real-time view of report data.
The charts feature is available to a report only when grouping is enabled and aggregation is selected.
The sorting you apply to your report changes the ordering in your chart. Typically, the grouping field you use for the X-axis of the chart is your first sort. Also, you can specify a minimum and maximum for the Y-axis range, which adjusts the amount of free space above and below the chart.
- Enable and set up grouping.
- Select aggregates.
- Select a chart type.
Simple Charts
A simple chart consists of one grouping field on the X-axis and one aggregated field on the Y-axis. Simple chart types include: area, column, doughnut, line, and pie.
Multiseries Charts
Multiseries charts consist of an X-axis, a Y-axis, and a series. Series are useful for breaking down a dataset, where color distinguishes one series from another. You can populate a series by either a grouping field or an aggregated field. Multiseries chart types include: multiseries area, multiseries column, multiseries line, stacked area, and stacked column.
