Setting Chart Preferences

To change the appearance of a chart in the Predictive Planning panel:

  1. Double-click the chart or click the Chart Preferences button, Chart Preferences button.
  2. Select appropriate settings in the Chart Preferences dialog.
  3. Optional: Select Reset to restore default settings.
  4. Select OK when settings are complete.

Chart Preferences dialog settings are as follows, when selected:

  • Highlight seasonality—Uses vertical bands to separate periods of cyclical data (years, months, and so on)

  • Highlight missing values and outliers—Graphically emphasizes filled-in or adjusted-outlier data if these are present

  • Show separator between past and future data—Displays a vertical line between historical and predicted data sections

  • Show current view name in chart—Displays the name of the current view in the results chart

  • 3D chart—Adds a depth perspective to the chart without actually adding a third measured dimension

  • Transparency—Reduces the intensity of chart colors by the indicated percentage to better show gridlines or other marks in charted areas

  • Gridlines—Indicates whether lines should be displayed in the chart background, and, if so, whether they should be vertical, horizontal, or both.

  • Legend—Indicates whether a chart legend should be displayed, and, if so, whether it should be located to the right of, to the left of, or at the bottom of the chart, or whether the location should be automatically selected depending on panel size and orientation

Note:

Changing these settings affects only the appearance of charts on your local computer and does not affect the charts of other users.
