Edit Graph Settings

The Edit graph settings window is divided into three sections: Graph, Series, and Axes. The following fields appear within these sections.

Graph

Fields Data Type Description Behavior and Usage
Graph Title Character A label that indicates the title of the graph displayed on the Results workspace. Enter a title for the graph in the text box.
Graph Type N/A

A property that identifies the type of graph that you want to view.

Displays a drop-down list of graph types. Select the type of graph that you want to be displayed on the Results workspace.

The following graph types are supported:

  • Column
  • Bar
  • Scatter
  • Area
  • Pie
  • Pyramid
  • Combination
  • Spider Web
Show Legend N/A The legends indicates the meaning of each color in the graph Select the check box to display the legends on the graph and from the corresponding drop-down list, select the area where you want to display the chart legends.
Show Scroll Bar N/A An option that lets you control the number of data series that appear on the graph's x-axis within a chart area by using a scroll bar. Select the check box if you want to allow x-axis panning on the graph. On selecting the check box, the Maximum amount of points to show box appears. In this box, you can specify the number of data series to be displayed on the graph at a time. This is a required field.

Series

Fields Data Type Description Behavior and Usage
Color Palette N/A A property that allows you to select colors for data series. Displays a list of color. Each color displays a drop-down list of color schemes from which you can select a color for a data series.
Graph Type N/A A property that identifies the type of graph that you want to plot for a measure.

This field is populated with available chart types when you select the Graph Type as Combination in the Graph section.

This is useful if you have more than one measure.
Measure N/A Displays the measure name that you have selected Data/Measures in the Metric View.

Populated automatically.

The measures are used in plotting the graph based on the selected graph type.
Series settings N/A Allows you to configure a dual axis graph. For example, Y and Y1 axis.

Select the measure that should be plotted on the Y and Y1 axis for column chart and X and X1 for bar chart.

This is recommended if you have two measures to be plotted.
Stacked N/A A property that allows you to present your data on the chart in stacked bar graph format.

Stacked chart compares data sets by placing one set of data on top of another. Each dataset is represented in a different color and each individual stacked column size represents the contribution proportionate to the total value.

Select the check box, if you want the graph to appear stacked.
y Axis N/A A property that identifies the location for the measures to be plotted on the y Axis.

Select the y axis location from the drop-down list.

This field allows you to configure measure in Y or Y1 axis using the values, Left or Right.

Axes

Fields Data Type Description Behavior and Usage
Formatter N/A Lets you specify the type of numbers to appear on the axis and formats the scale accordingly. You can select the format as Number, Currency (e.g., using dollar sign), Percentage and so on. You can also select the number of decimal places to which the values will be rounded when they are displayed on the axis by selecting Number with 0 precision, Number with 1 precision and so on.
Left N/A Lets you configure settings for a data set plotted on the of the y-axis. You can configure the following settings, Format, Type,Title, Minimum, and Maximum for the Y-axis.
Minimum Number Lets you specify the minimum value that should be plotted on the y-axis of the graph.

This is an optional field.

When you specify a minimum value, the graph is plotted from that value.
Maximum Number Lets you specify the maximum value points that should be plotted on the y-axis of the graph.

This is an optional field.

When you specify a minimum value, the graph is plotted till that value.
Right N/A Lets you configure settings for a data set plotted on the of the y1-axis. You can configure the following settings, Format, Type,Title, Minimum, and Maximum for the Y1-axis.
Title Character A label that will indicate the name for the values that are plotted on the y and y1 axis.

Enter the name in the Title box.

The name provided for both Y and Y1 axis will overwrite the default label.
Type N/A An option that lets you specify the scaling type for y and y1 axis.
  • Linear: Select Linear to measure data that changes arithmetically (for example, sales growth or decline).

  • Logarithmic: Select Logarithmic to measure data that changes exponentially (for example, sound waves measured in decibels or earthquake magnitudes)

Note: By default, the charts are displayed in Linear type.
X Axis Title N/A A label that indicates the name for the x-axis. Enter the name in the X Axis Title box. The name will appear on the x-axis of the graph.
y Axis N/A A property that identifies the location for the measures to be plotted on the y Axis.

Select the y axis location from the drop-down list.

This field allows you to configure measure in Y or Y1 axis using the values, Left or Right.
Y Axis Formatting N/A List of options that lets you define the format for the values that are plotted on the left and right sides of y-axis. For example, y-axis title, setting minimum and maximum value.

In this section, you can change the y-axis settings, such as Number format, Title and so on.
