Defining Data Source for Trend Graph

Trend graphs show the performance of categories over time. In a trend graph, the X-axis displays time period, the Y-axis shows the value or the indicator, and each category added to the graph appears as a line in the graph.

To define the data source of a trend graph.

1. In the Series step, from the Categories radio buttons, select either Values or Indicators.

   Note:

   When the Values radio button is selected only Value categories are available on the drop-down list. When the Indicator radio button is selected, only Indicator categories are available on the drop-down list.

2. Click Add to select categories to use in the graph. A list of categories appears.
3. In the list of categories, select the category or categories you want to add. To select multiple categories, hold down the Enter or Ctrl key on your keyboard as you select additional categories.
4. Click OK. The Series step is displayed, with the new categories listed in the Selected Categories area.
5. To change the order of the categories in the list, select a category from the Selected Categories list and use the Move Row controls to place the row in the desired location.
6. To remove a category from the list, select the category from the Selected Categories list and click Remove.

   Note:

   The Categories List can show only one type of categories-either value or indicator categories. Changing the Use Categories radio buttons between Values and Indicators erases previously selected categories.

7. Click Next to proceed to the next step, Defining Display Settings for Trend Graph.
