Associating data with a graph

When using a graph in a report, you associate axes of the graph with columns in the report.

The only way to get data into a graph in a report is through columns in the report. You cannot add, modify, or delete data in the graph except by adding, modifying, or deleting data in the report.

You can graph data from any columns retrieved into the report. The columns do not have to be displayed.

NoteAbout the examples The process of specifying data for a graph is illustrated below using the Printer table in the EAS Demo DB.

StepsTo specify data for a graph:

  1. If you are creating a new graph, the Graph Data dialog box displays. Otherwise, select Properties from the graph’s pop-up menu and select the Data page in the Properties view.

  2. Fill in the boxes as described in the sections that follow, and click OK.
