These objects serve as a data source for the chart.

Value(s)

This shows which queries or attributes are configured for determining the axis values. You also have the option here to reference or create queries and attributes via the text box or the buttons to the right of the text box, which are used to determine the values of the chart's axes.

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 number as a result.

At least two values must be configured. The first value provides the X-values for the chart and the second value provides the Y-values. Each additional configured value is considered an additional Y-value and is displayed in relation to the first X-value in the chart.

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 This shows which queries or attributes are configured for determining the minimum value of the axes. You also have the option here to reference or create queries and attributes via the text box or the buttons to the right of the text box, which are used to determine the minimum value of the chart's axes.
Axis max value This shows which queries or attributes are configured for determining the maximum value of the axes. You also have the possibility here to reference or create queries and attributes via the text box or the buttons to the right of the text box, which are used to determine the maximum value of the chart's axes.
