Data Tab

The Data tab allows for the data in the chart to be designed.

There are two different types of data available in the Data tab. When using Tiered data for a chart, always select the bottom level, unless there is a specific need for the data on the parent level. When using flat data only the one level is available.

Add New Features

The display differs for different chart types. If the chart created was a Pie chart then the ‘X Axis’ label would read ‘Labels’ and the ‘Y Axis’ label would read ‘Values’. Additionally, if the chart type was a Pie chart then the ‘Y Axis #’, ‘Padding between points’ and ‘Padding between groups’ options would be hidden.

After ‘Add New’ is clicked the bottom section of the screen will be populated.

Series Type

The Series Type drop-down list allows the selection of other valid configuration types. This list is based on the type of chart originally selected to create.

A common configuration, especially for cost charts is to crate a column chart; however, have the series rendered as a line chart.

X Axis/Label

The X Axis (or Labels in a pie chart) drop-down allows the selection of any fields configured in both the dataset and query combined.

If this is a Line or Scatter chart then only numerical values will be shown in the list.

Y Axis/Values

The Y Axis (or Values in a pie chart) drop-down allows the selection of any numeric fields configured in both the dataset and query combined.

Series Styles

The Styles drop-down list allows the selection of a lighter or darker style set provided by the AnyChart technology. If no style is selected, the original style set defined by AnyChart is used.

Padding Between Points

The padding between points allows the user to space the points on a graph so that the information is not crowded together. It allows for easier reading.

Padding Between Groups

The padding between groups allows the user to space the different groups or categories in the chart.
