Configure This View
Choose the Spline Line view and:
1. If needed, change the Select Dataset field to find the repeating items that contain the fields you want to chart. This must be the parent node to the fields you want to use and it must be a repeating node.
2. Drag the title of the column that contains the labels for the X axis and drop this in the Category field.
Tip: With large numbers of categories (greater than 10-12), use the Chart Scroll property for better visual results.
3. Drag the title of at least one column that contains numeric data into the Series field. Each column you add to Series adds a curved line to the chart.
Tip: For best results, limit the number of series to 12 or less.
It is also best if the numeric data are distinctly different but within a similar range of values. One very large or very small value can skew the chart scale, making it difficult to see or understand other data.
4. Click Next and set basic options for the chart in the Customize View step:
Set a
Caption or
Subcaption for the chart or gauge.
Set captions, if needed, for the
X and
Y axes.
If needed, add a prefix or suffix for all numeric labels for this gauge or chart.
Common examples might be $ as the prefix or % as suffix.
6. Preview the chart at any time.
7. Once you are satisfied, save the view:
a. Click Finish.
b. Give the view a name, and optional description.
c. Click Save.
