Adding a Chart

Using Invoice as an example, you can include a chart in the summary page to demonstrate how the Invoices are split.

There are several chart types available in BI Publisher/Oracle Analytics Publisher. The following is for creating a Pie-chart.

To add a pie chart:

  1. Place the cursor above the summary table. The goal is to include the chart between the Project summary table and Invoice summary table because the table can get long and expand to the next page.
  2. Click Chart on the Word BI Publisher/Oracle Analytics Publisher Ribbon.
  3. Set the Chart Type (on the right) to Pie Chart.
  4. (Optional) Select one of the Chart Styles.
  5. Drag Inv_Amount from the Data tree to the Values box to ensure that the size of each pie slice is determined by the dollar amount of the Invoice.
  6. Drag Inv_Title from the Data tree to the Labels box to ensure that the:
    • Pie slices are determined by Invoice
    • Invoice Title appears in the legend
  7. (Optional) Click Preview (upper-right corner) to see a preview of the chart and make changes if necessary.
  8. (Optional) Use the Properties table on the right side to set Chart Title, Legend properties, and so on.
  9. Click OK. You change the chart settings by double-clicking the chart in the template.
  10. (Optional) Add spacing between the chart and the two tables and center-align the chart.
