To create a chart, proceed to Datasource tables and click Add
Chart button.
On Chart Type tab select the
type of chart to build.
Chart parameters tab
Choose Data Series fields. Some
charts, such as Pie
and Doughnut
allow you to choose only a single Data Series. 2D
Column Line chart
requires two Data Series fields (one for column and another one for
line). All other charts can have from one to four Data Series fields.
Data Series is a field with data. Only
numeric fields can be chosen as a Data Series
(numeric fields only are available for selection in Data Series
dropdown box). Label field is basically a record identifier.
Here is a sample data table:
|
Make |
Price |
|
Mersedes-Benz |
80,160 |
|
BMW |
112,690 |
|
Acura |
78,183 |
|
Jaguar |
45,014 |
|
Porsche |
44,465 |
|
Volvo |
44,097 |
In this example we choose Price
as Data Series, Make
as Label which gives the following chart:
Sometimes the data in your
database need to be processed before using in the chart.
