Configuring the Category Field Property of a Chart

If the Category Field property contains:

• The name of a business component field. Siebel CRM gets the x-axis labels from this field. To display these field values, the By picklist allows the user to choose the x-axis or the z-axis.

• A comma-separated list of field names. Siebel CRM displays a list of fields in the By picklist in the client. The value that the user chooses determines the field that populates the x-axis. The first value in the comma-separated list is the default value. You must not use an empty space before or after a field name. If you specify a list of x-axis source fields, then you must not use the following properties of the chart element:

  • Coordinates

  • Display Format

  • Divisions

  • List Of Values

  • Sort Specification

  • Text

  These properties define the label for the x-axis. Siebel CRM can use these properties only for one x-axis field.

If Siebel CRM creates a new business component field that the chart references, and if it maps this field to a Calculated field in another business component through a multivalue link, and if a category field uses this new field for the chart, then the drilldown on the chart does not work correctly because the Calculated field cannot preserve the context.
