About the Second By Picklist

The contents of the Series Field property in the Chart object definition determine the behavior of the second By picklist (the combo box control named ChartPickBy2), as follows:

• If the Series Field property is blank, all records are mapped into a single series.
• If the Series Field property contains the name of a field from a business component, the Z axis (legend) is populated with labels derived from the contents of that field.
• If the Series Field property contains a comma-separated list of field names, the user is provided with this list of fields at run time in the second By picklist. The user's selection determines the field which populates the Z axis. The first value in the comma-separated list is the default.
