Chart Gadget

To add a new chart gadget:

  1. Click Chart from the Gadget Wizard. A list of reports with charts is displayed.
  2. Select the chart or report title from the list of report charts. Use the Filter by field to narrow the list of charts. The Filter by field works on a "Begins with" basis.
  3. Click Next.
  4. Select the Drill Down option from the drop-down field. Go To List Or Report displays an Action icon in the gadget header once the gadget is on the dashboard. When you click on the Action icon, the report Display Options and Search Criteria page is displayed.
  5. Select the Default Action option from the drop-down field. Run Report adds a hyperlink to the report chart, which runs the full report. Default search criteria are applied to the report if they exist. Note: If you want to use the animation directly from the chart on the dashboard, make sure Default Action is set to None -otherwise the full report is displayed - but you can also access the animation from the full report.
  6. Click Next.
  7. Add a Name and Description for the gadget.
  8. Click Finish.

Built-in animation means that you can watch charts grow as they are formed. You can also interact with charts once they are drawn – for example, highlighting slices and rotating pie charts. For more information on interacting with charts, please refer to Running a Report.
