Bar Colors (O)

A list of colors for bars or pie slices in an itemized list of red, green, and blue triplets. The first triplet specifies the color for the first series, the second triplet for the second series, and so on. If the list contains fewer triplets than series members, the list of colors repeats.

Up to 15 triplets can be specified. Each number in a triplet must be between 0 and 255; for example, 128 0 0, 0 128 0, 0 0 128.

The default value is 0 255 0,0 0 255,255 0 0,255 0 255,255 255 0,0 255 255,255 0 128,255 128 0,0 255 128,128 0 255,255 255 128,128 255 255,128 128 64,128 64 128,64 128 128.

Category Captions (O)

Caption for the x-axis.

Category Field (R)

When the business components records are scanned, the different values found in this field get mapped into different categories. These values are displayed on the chart's x-axis labels.

For more information, read Category Field.

Compare (O)(H)

Obsolete. Do not use.

Not applicable.

Data Function (O)

An operation to perform on the data.

If COUNT is the only data function you want to apply to the chart (because the Picklist Functions property is empty), you can achieve better performance by not specifying a Data Point Field property value.

For more information, read Data Function.

COUNT = Counts the number of records.

SUM = Sums the specified field values across all records in the category.

AVERAGE = Calculates the average value per record of the specified field.

PLOT = Plots all cell values. When a cell in the logical table does not have a value, the chart's value is set to NULL instead of 0.

Data Point Captions (O)

Caption for the y-axis.

Data Point Field (O)

A field to be charted whose data gets plotted on the y-axis. If this property is not specified, then specify COUNT as the Data Function value.

For more information, read Data Point Field.

Editable (O)

Obsolete. Do not use.

Not applicable.

Invert (O)

A TRUE or FALSE value that indicates if the x-axis and z-axis, and their labels and titles, can be flipped.

Selecting a By picklist item changes this property (except in period charts, where it changes the period on the x-axis).

TRUE = Flips the x-axis, z-axis, labels, and titles. This may be useful for getting a different view of the data.

FALSE = Does not flip the x-axis, z-axis, labels, and titles.

Multi Data Point (O)

A TRUE or FALSE value that plots multiple line-graph curves against the same y-axis based on different source field/function combinations. The name for each curve appears in the legend.

To accomplish this, you need to set the following property values in the chart object definition: Data Point Field, Data Function, Picklist Functions, and Multi Data Point.

TRUE = Plot multiple curves.

FALSE (default) = Multiple curves not plotted.

Name (R)

The name of the chart.

Period (O)

The default period for this chart, either a calendar period or a user-defined period.

If this property is specified, the field type of the Category business component must be Date or DateTime.

A user-defined period can be any period defined in the Period business component, such as fiscal month, quarter, and year. For user-defined periods to work in a chart, the Period business component must be added to the current business object.

Valid values are Day, Week, Month, Quarter, and Year.

Picklist Function Captions (O)

Captions for the list of functions used by the y-axis.

Picklist Functions (O)

The data functions to list in the applet's Show picklist.

To suppress a function in the picklist, do not specify a string in the position of that function.

For more information, read Picklist Functions.

By default, none is specified and the picklist does not appear in the applet.

This property accepts a comma-separated list of y-axis titles, which are also the entries that appear in the picklist. The order of titles in the comma-separated list determines the association of each with a data point field and data function in the corresponding positions in the Data Point Field and Data Function properties.

Example: Number of Opportunities, Opportunity Revenue, Average Revenue.

Picklist Period Captions (O)

Captions for the list of date periods used by the x-axis.

Picklist Periods (O)

A comma-separated list of possible periods that appears in a picklist in the applet.

Do not put a space after a comma in the list of values.

For user-defined periods (fiscal periods) to work in a chart, the Period business component should be added to the current business object.

If not specified, a period picklist does not appear.

Examples: Month(Calendar),
Quarter (Calendar), Year(Calendar),Day,Week,Month,
Quarter,Year.

Picklist Type Captions (O)

Captions for the types of charts.

Picklist Types (O)

A comma-separated list of valid chart types other than 2dScatter, 3dScatter, or Combo (these three chart types are treated specially and can be specified only in the Type property). This property specifies which chart types are listed in the applet's picklist.

Do not put a space after a comma in the list of values.

For a list of chart types, read the description of the Type property.

If not specified, a picklist does not appear.

Example: 2dBar,3dBar.

Selection Based (O)

A TRUE or FALSE property that specifies whether to chart only the currently active record in the business component.

TRUE = Chart only the currently active record in the business component.

FALSE = Chart all records in the business component.

Series Captions (O)

Caption for the z-axis.

Series Field (O)

Specifies a field for z-axis labels. When scanning the business component's records, Siebel applications map the different values found in this field into different series. These values are displayed on the chart's z-axis labels.

When no series is specified, all of the records are mapped into a single series.

For more information, Series Field.

Type (O)

The type of chart to be displayed.

For combo charts, a Data Point Field must be specified. Its Sum (Data Function) displays on the y-axis and its Count displays on the second y-axis.

For 2dScatter and 3dScatter charts, the Coordinates property for the axis label of the x-axis must be specified (see the Chart Element object type).

Valid values include:

• 2dBar, 3dBar, 2dStackedBar, 3dStackedBar, 2dLine, 3dLine, Combo, 2dHorizBar, 3dHorizBar, 2dCube, 3dCube
• 3dClusteredBar, 2dPie, 3dPie, 2dDoughnut
• 2dScatter, 3dScatter, 2dSpline, 3dSpline

Use Category MVGroup Data (O)

A TRUE or FALSE value.

TRUE = If the category field is a multi-value group, Siebel applications must obtain the charting data from the field.

FALSE (default) = Use the value listed in the business component.
