Chart Fields Reference
The table below describes each available field on the chart configuration form.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Panel | A select field to choose which panel you want this chart to appear on. |
| Type | If selected, you can create a chart of a custom type. |
| Chart Type | Only visible if a custom type is selected in the field above. Contains different chart types such as pie, bar, horizontal, line, etc. |
| Code | A unique key to identify the chart. |
| Title | The display name of the chart. |
| Columns | Represents the width of a chart square on the panel. |
| Position | The position where the chart will be displayed on the panel. |
| Cache Time | The duration for which chart query results are saved in the cache. |
| Expression | Contains all the custom code and database queries needed to style the chart and populate it with data. |
For example, to create a simple pie chart showing Service Operations by status, you would set Chart Type to "Pie" and write a database query in the Expression field that groups Service Operations by their status field.
warning
Chart configuration requires a deep understanding of advanced coding within the scripting area. Chart datasets can only be manipulated through the "Expression" field.
