Generating Simple Charts

This procedure explains how to generate a Simple chart from the item data displayed in the upper pane. A Simple chart displays in a column format by default. However, the chart utility allows you to display simple charts in a variety of formats.

You can filter out data in the upper pane to display only the data that you want to include in your chart. In addition, you can select specific items from the filtered data to include in your chart. A maximum of 60 fields can be displayed in the upper pane.

Note: You can only generate a Distribution or Time-series chart for audit entries

Click a component tab in the upper pane and select an item.
Optionally, select the specific items you want to chart.
Right-click in the upper pane and choose Charts > Simple . The Simple Chart dialog box opens.
Type a name for the chart in the Chart Name field.
Select one or more fields from the Series list.
Use Ctrl+Click or Shift+Arrow to select multiple fields. The dialog box lists the fields in the upper pane that can be charted. A maximum of sixty fields can be displayed in the upper pane.

Note: The Series list can only contain fields that are number based. To add fields to the Series list, you must include a number-based field in the view/tab you want to chart.
Select which data to use for generating the chart. If you have selected specific items in the upper pane to chart, select Current Selection. Otherwise, use Select All.
Select a printer page orientation: Portrait or Landscape.
Click OK.

Note: If the chart has too much data on it to be readable, increase the size of the chart window, or decrease the number of items in the chart.
