Information in any of the reports that query the repository may be presented in pie chart, donut chart, or bar chart format.
The charts are presented in interactive, SVG format. The chart area also offers several display options, including which Chart Type: to display, which can be changed by clicking the respective icon for Vertical Bar Chart, Horizontal Bar Chart, Pie Chart, or Donut Chart. Also, the number of results can be changed by clicking the Show: dropdown – options include Top 10, Top 20, and All. You may change the color scheme as well by using the Colors: dropdown.
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 A new report will open, filtered by only those items you selected on the previous chart.
You may then drill down on the new report to further filter your results.
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.
