Configuring the Data Function Property of a Chart

This topic describes how to configure the Data Function Property for a chart.

Configuring the Show Picklist to Display Field and Function Combinations

You can configure the Show picklist to display a list of field and function combinations. The item that the user chooses determines the values that Siebel CRM plots on the y-axis.

To configure the Show Picklist to display field and function combinations

  1. Enter a comma-separated list in the following properties of the chart object:

    • Data Point Field

    • Data Function

    • Picklist Functions

  2. Add the following list to the Data Function property. If the Data Function property is empty, or if the value that it contains is shorter than the value that the Picklist Functions property contains, then Siebel CRM uses this same list:

    Sum,Count,Average,Plot
    

Configuring Siebel CRM to Plot Multiple Line-Graph Curves on the Same Y-Axis

Siebel CRM can plot multiple line-graph curves on the same y-axis according to different source field and function combinations. It displays the name for each curve in the legend.

To configure Siebel CRM to plot multiple line-graph curves on the same y-axis

  1. Modify the same properties that you modify in Configuring the Data Function Property of a Chart. You also modify the following properties:

    • Category Field

    • Multi Data Point

  2. Make sure the Series Field property is empty.

  3. In the Data Function property, enter the same comma-separated list that you add in Configuring the Data Function Property of a Chart.

Configuring Siebel CRM to Display Two Line-graph Curves on Different Y-axes

You can configure Siebel CRM to plot one axis on the left side of the graph and another axis on the right side of the graph.

To configure Siebel CRM to display two line-graph curves on different y-axes

  1. Specify two functions in the Data Function property of the chart object. Use a comma to separate these functions.

    The first function defines the left y-axis and the second function defines the right y-axis.

  2. Specify two fields in the Data Point Field property.
