Use this section level rule to allow a chart's series data to be retrieved via references to the section’s variable fields. Since Documaker Server does no field propagation, as would an entry system, you must handle field propagation.
You can assign a name for the series data in the FAP file definition. You can then use the series data name to associate the series with a variable field with the same name. This rule propagates data mapped to a variable field into series data with the same name. What this rule does that the CreateChartSeries rule cannot is manipulate extract data before it is assigned to a series.
Typically, you will need to use the DeleteDefaultSeriesData rule before you use this rule. Always use the PurgeChartSeries rule after you use this rule, as a means of cleanup. If you find incorrect data in a chart, you may be missing one of these rules.
| Note | Use Studio to select the fields the system will then use to assign the minimum, maximum, increment/label, and tick mark values. See the Documaker Studio User Guide. |
