Description
Configuration

Source

In this property, you can use queries or attributes to determine the objects from which the contents of the diagram are generated.

Example: Create the Context query and reference individual processes in the Objects attribute. As a result, only content from the referenced processes is evaluated in the dashboard chart. You can configure the specific content to be evaluated in the diagram attribute Value(s), for example.
Include in list of figures This property is relevant for print reports with a list of figures. If you enable this property, the diagram is included in the list of figures.

Value(s)

This property allows you to use queries or attributes to determine which content from the data source is evaluated in the diagram.

Note: If you add an attribute here, it must be of integer or float type. If you add queries, they must also return an integer or float type as the result, such as the special function counters.
Display

Categories can be referenced under this attribute. This can limit the visibility / execution.

Most application scenarios require category and access control related visibility.

The logic of the evaluation is as follows:

  1. If at least one category is specified, the object must be an instance of that category. Otherwise, no evaluation of the category are carried out

  2. If at least one user group is specified, the current user must be a member of at least one of these user groups

  3. If at least one Access Control List is specified, the user must have the View permission in the Access Control List

  4. If at least one condition component is specified, at least one condition must apply.

If this logic is not sufficient, a differentiated logic can be configured via the condition components.
Axis min value

Here you use queries or attributes to determine the minimum values of the diagram axes.

Note: If you add an attribute here, it must be of integer or float type. If you add queries, they must also return an integer or float type as the result, such as the special function counters.
Axis max value

Here you can use queries or attributes to determine the maximum values of the diagram axes.

Note: If you add an attribute here, it must be of integer or float type. If you add queries, they must also return an integer or float type as the result, such as the special function counters.
Additional reported attributes Here you reference attributes that are reported in the detail table of the diagram.
Display options

Legend

This property is used to display a legend in the chart.

Show object labels

This property is used to display the object labels in the chart. The labels are displayed above the respective bars/dots, etc.

Show object values

With this property the Y-value is displayed over a bar/point etc.

Show percentage values

With this property the percentage value is displayed above a bar/dot etc.

Show X-Axis label

This property is used to display the X-axis label.
Custom X-axis label

Enter a user-defined X-axis label here. If this text field is left blank, the default name is displayed.

Show Y-Axis label

This property is used to display the Y-axis label.

Custom Y-axis label

Enter a user-defined Y-axis label here. If this text field is left blank, the default name is displayed. The default names are the comma-separated names of the configured values.

Orientation

Select here whether the chart is displayed horizontally or vertically aligned.

Diagram format

Here you can create or reference diagram formats using the text box or the buttons to the right of the text box, which you can use to define the colors of the chart. There can be several diagram formats, but the first diagram format that is not deactivated is always used for the display.

If no diagram format is created or referenced, a search is made under the Standard Components attribute in the report for a possible diagram format configured there. If no diagram format exists, a default diagram format is used for the chart.

Chart marker

Here you can create or reference chart markers using the text box or the buttons to the right of the text box. All non-disabled chart markers configured in this attribute will be displayed in the chart.
