    Display Format

    Description

    Bar Chart

    Shows data as a series of proportional bar elements and may include bar segmentation to subdivide the data.

    Applies to data monitors and query viewers.

    Bar Chart Table

    A grid of proportional bar elements.

    Applies to data monitors.

    Horizontal Bar Chart

    Shows data as a series of proportional bar elements and may include bar segmentation to subdivide the data. This format forces the bars to run left-to-right rather than up-and-down.

    Applies to data monitors and query viewers.

    Pie Chart

    Shows data as a circle with proportional wedges for elements.

    Applies to data monitors and query viewers.

    Statistics Chart

    Displays Moving Average data monitors, especially those that contain and need to arrange (overlay) multiple graphs in one monitor space. Compare Statistics Chart to Tile, which arranges individual-graph monitors into fixed arrays.

    Applies to data monitors.

    Table

    Displays data as a grid.

    Applies to data monitors and query viewers.

    3D Bar Chart

    Shows data as a series of proportional bar elements and may include bar segmentation to subdivide the data. The graph also has a third axis (depth) to display more data and can be rotated by dragging.

    Applies to data monitors.

    Stacked Bar Chart

    Shows data as a series of proportional bar elements and may include bar segmentation to subdivide the data.

    Applies to query viewers.

    Tile

    Arranges individual Moving Average data graphs into separate, fixed positions on a data monitor, when multiple graphs are present. Compare Tile to Statistics Chart, which displays multiple graphs (overlaid) in the same monitor space.

    Applies to data monitors.

  4. To save the dashboard, right-click it and choose Save Dashboard. If this is a new dashboard, navigate to the group where you want to save the dashboard, enter a name for the new dashboard, and click OK.
