Considering Factors That Affect Chart Performance

When a chart traverses records in the business component, Siebel CRM monitors the progress in a display at the bottom of the window. Traversing all records of a business component might require significant time, so a chart is not appropriate for a data set that contains more than one thousand records.

When you design your implementation, consider how the following factors affect the performance of a chart in Siebel CRM:

• The number of records in the business component
• If the chart must or must not search a multi-value group to get data
• If a data point field is or is not defined
• If the data point field is a currency field, then consider the number of records whose currency is not the functional currency
• The processor, operating system, and database system you use
