Description:

I am experiencing an issue with Y-axis scaling in our Line graph charts. The charts currently display with a default Y-axis minimum, maximum, and interval that do not dynamically adjust to the actual data range, leading to poor visualization and a "clumsy" appearance.

Specific Problem:

For example, if the actual data range for a chart's Y-axis is between 294,000 and 530,000 the Y-axis often starts at an arbitrarily low value (e.g., 124,000) and uses a large, fixed interval (e.g., 120,000). This results in the relevant data being compressed into a small portion of the chart or obscured by an inappropriately scaled axis.

Desired Outcome:

I need to configure the chart to dynamically calculate and set the Y-axis minimum, maximum, and interval based on the actual data presented in the chart. This should ensure that:

1. The Y-axis minimum is set appropriately close to the lowest data point.
2. The Y-axis maximum is set appropriately close to the highest data point.
3. The Y-axis interval (step value) is calculated to provide readable tick marks and optimal spacing for the current data range.

Question for Support:

What is the recommended approach within Pega to implement dynamic Y-axis minimum, maximum, and interval calculations for Charts? Am looking for guidance on how to configure this, ideally by:

• Leveraging Report Definition chart properties.
• Using Data Transforms or Activities to pre-calculate these values from the data.
• Referencing Pega properties for these axis parameters.

Any specific Pega configurations, best practices, or known methods for achieving this dynamic scaling would be greatly appreciated. Note: Tried to provide the Min and max value through precalculate properties, but unable to add it in chart control. It is accepting only the decimal values.
