Report Definition formThe Chart tab lets you specify the details of a chart to display to illustrate the data in a Report Definition report.
To support a chart, a report must have at least one aggregated (or "summarized") column and one non-aggregated (or "group by")column of data. This qualifies the report as a list-type report and enables it to display its data in a chart. A summarized column contains data that is summarized using one of the following built-in functions:COUNT(), SUM(), AVG(), MIN(), and MAX()
Examples include: counts of class instances (or record counts), total dollar amounts, average elapsed time between the entering and resolution of a work item, the most recent (maximum) date value, the earliest (minimum) date value.
All non-summarized columns on the report are considered group by columns, since the summarized data is grouped by, or broken out by, these other columns.
When you first visit the tab, if you do not a the required columns in the report (see above), a message reminds you of the minimum columns required.
If you have the required columns, an Add Chart button appears. Click the button to display the Chart Editor.
If the Chart Editor displays, the button label is Remove Chart. Click the button to remove the chart and close the Chart Editor.
The Use HTML5 checkbox is checked by default. This directs PRPC to use the latest tools for creating and displaying your chart. Uncheck the checkbox to use charting tools that were available before V6.3.
On the Chart Editor menu bar, at the top right, is the Save & Preview button. Click the button to save the rule and display the report and its chart in a new window. You can do this at any time as you develop the chart you want to use to display the report data clearly and convincingly.
For information on the Chart Editor's controls and capabilities, see Working with the Chart Editor.
