About Charts

A chart is a graphical representation of report data from a grid on a report.

The chart retrieves data dynamically from the grid, so if data in the grid changes, the chart is updated automatically. You create charts to portray data graphically in your reports. You can use the different chart types to illustrate trends and tendencies or to highlight differences and improvements.
