Customizing a Chart That Includes Multiple Lines Against One Y-Axis

This topic describes one example of defining different combinations of the source field and function to determine how Siebel CRM plots a chart with multiple lines against the same Y-axis. You might use this feature differently, depending on your business model. Siebel CRM displays the name for each line in the legend. For example, Siebel CRM can display revenue, expected revenue, and net profit as superimposed lines on the same line graph.

To customize a chart that includes multiple lines against one Y-axis

1. Complete Step 1 through Step 5.
2. Define properties of the chart object, using values from the following table.

   Property	Description
   Data Point Field	Create a comma separated list of source fields, one for each line that Siebel CRM displays in the graph.
   Data Function	Create a comma separated list that includes some of the following function names: SUM, COUNT, AVERAGE, or PLOT. PLOT indicates that Siebel CRM derives the Y values directly from the values in the source field. The list of function names must include the same number of entries as the Data Point Field list. The order in the list in the Data Function property determines the association with the data point field and title.
   Picklist Functions	Create a comma separated list of Y-axis titles. Items in this list define the individual lines in the Legend. The list of titles must include the same number of entries that Siebel Tools displays in the list in the Data Point Field property. The order in the list determines the association with the data point field and data function.
   Series Field	This property must be empty. Remove any existing values from the Series Field property. If the Series Field property contains a value, then Siebel CRM converts the multiple lines to a Z-axis.
   Multi Data Point	Set to TRUE, which indicates that multiple lines are plotted.

3. In the Applet Web Editor, remove the Show combo box and the label for the Show combo box.
