When viewing a chart, change the current chart type. The feature is available only if Allow Chart Type Switching option is set for the frame in Step 4: Associate Frames with Charts, Pivots, or Tables. If the frame does not contain an embedded chart or if a pivot is displayed, the feature is unavailable.
The Spotlight feature takes precedence over this feature. Therefore, you cannot switch the chart type of spotlighted charts. See the Chart Spotlighter Feature.
Note:
This feature is automatically available in Webdash-configured documents that contain charts.
To change the chart type:
In Interactive Reporting Studio, on the dashboard top panel, click
.Select a chart type.
The chart changes according to the selected chart type.
If the chart contains one or more items on the z-axis, the pie format is not available, because that format uses only x- and y-axes (slice and fact)
To turn a chart into a cluster format, the chart must first use one of the stacked types (for example, horizontal, vertical, or area) before it can be switched to the bar-cluster format
Click
again, to hide the drop-down list.
The change chart types feature works with the Checkpoint control to store or restore chart types on frames, section by section. See Using Checkpoint Control.
