Information in any of the reports that query the repository can be presented in pie chart, donut chart, bar chart, or tree map format. Additionally, those reports with numerical data can be presented as a bubble chart, and reports with date data can be presented as a Gantt chart.
Note The charts are presented in interactive, SVG format.
Chart display options
The chart area offers several display options, including which Chart Type: to display, which is set by clicking the respective icon for Vertical Bar Chart, Horizontal Bar Chart, Pie Chart, Donut Chart, Bubble Chart, Tree Map, or Gantt Chart.
You can also change these chart display options:
•The number of results, by using the Show: dropdown. (Options include Top 10, Top 20, and All.)
•The color scheme, by using the Colors: dropdown.
•The order in which results are displayed, by using the Sort By: dropdown.
Setting default Chart options
By default, the chart settings always start with Pie Chart and Top 10 for display choices. However, a team might prefer a different default layout when Chart loads.
To change default Chart options:
1 Find the file d3chart.js in SAXT Installation Path\IP\JS, and edit it with a text editor.
2 At the top of the file you will see variables defaultChartType, defaultColorScheme, and defaultShowCount. A description of the possible values is shown after each of the variables.
To change the default, replace the existing value with the required value – for example, to change defaultChartType from Pie Chart to Donut Chart, change the value from 3 to 4.
Note Such a change will be site-wide, there is no way to set a preference for an individual user.
Multiple-column reports
For those reports that include multiple columns of data, an additional display option is offered, which is the Column dropdown. The chart data will be calculated based on the column name selected in the Column dropdown.
Drill-down report
Also for multiple-column reports, you can perform a drill-down on selected items.
To perform a drill-down action:
1 Select the column you want to filter on from the Column dropdown.
2 Click on the desired name or chart representation of the items you want to include in the filtered report.
3 Click the Drill Down button to the right of the Column dropdown.
4 The chart will be redrawn, filtered by only those items that you selected.
You can then drill down again to filter your results further.
5 Clear the filtered results by clicking the Clear Filter button that has appeared next to the Drill Down button. The chart will return to normal.
