A Chart is a child of an applet. The Business Component property of a chart applet identifies the business component that provides data that Siebel CRM displays in a chart applet. Records in this business component are subject to the current view, the current query, and visibility requirements. Business component fields provide the data for the category, data point, and series axes in a chart applet. The properties of the chart object define the relationship between axes and fields. A single bar or line graph is the simplest form of chart applet. It contains no series axis and only a category field and a data point field are defined. Siebel CRM plots pairs of category and data point field values as points or bars. If multiple records use the same category value, then Siebel CRM adds together their data point values. Figure 57 includes opportunities on the data point axis that Siebel CRM plots against the source of the opportunity on the category axis. Example sources include referral, magazine article, Web site, and so on. To create the data required for the line, Siebel CRM checks the Source field in each record and tallies the number of opportunities for each distinct source value. Figure 58 includes the result, which is a two row temporary table that includes a column for each source. Figure 59 includes a multiple line chart where Siebel CRM adds a row to the temporary table for each line in the series. Figure 60 includes the temporary table for a multiple line chart. Properties of the Chart ObjectTo create the data mapping from the business component to the chart applet, you must define the properties of the Chart object that this topic describes. For situations where these properties are configured differently, see How Siebel CRM Creates a Chart Applet and Siebel Object Types Reference. Table 45 describes properties of the Chart Object. |
