Adding a Chart Widget

Adding a Chart Widget

To add a chart widget:

  1. Click Menu > Add New Widget....

  2. Click Pivots and Charts.

  3. Click a chart type.

  4. For Data source, do one of the following:

    • Click the Search button and then select a data source.

    • Use the Link to drop-down list to select another widget on the same dashboard.

    Note:

    If you use a pivot table as the data source, note that pivot tables are created in the Analyzer, discussed in Using the Analyzer. The Analyzer provides options for changing the state of the pivot table: filtering, drilling down, displaying listings, and displaying in chart format. When you save a pivot table, the system saves the state as part of the pivot table definition. The next time the pivot table is accessed (either in the Analyzer or in a widget on a dashboard), the system displays the pivot table in that state.

  5. Optionally specify the basic settings, as described in Adding a Widget to a Dashboard.

  6. Click OK.

  7. Optionally customize the chart type, as described in the next section.

  8. Optionally configure the widget further as described in the rest of this page.

  9. Optionally add controls, as described in Adding Widget Controls.
