Interactive charts allow chart users to grow or shrink the level of detail presented in a chart using a slider control.

Interacting with the charts

Drag the slider control () to adjust which categories are visible. Click the Maximize button () to present the chart in a larger, full-screen window. Click the Show Data button () to view the summary view output as numeric data.

To view and work with an interactive chart, users workstations must have the Flash Player 9 browser plug-in from Adobe Systems Inc. This is available as a small free download available fromwww.adobe.com/products/flashplayer.

Development

To develop an interactive chart, use the Report wizard or the Summary View form create a summary view rule to extract and summarize the data values. Then complete the Chart tab to define the chart type, interactions, colors, labels, and fonts. For additional instructions and examples, see Pega Developer Network articles PRKB-24153 Preparing to create and use interactive charts.

Examples

The Dashboard workspace of the WorkManager portal contains four interactive charts that you can examine. Several standard summary view reports which apply to the Work- and Assign- base classes present interactive charts. Most follow a naming convention that the last two characters of the Purpose key part is "IC". Review these interactive charts to understand the capability.

• Work-.CountResolvedByResolverTop5IC — Top process resolvers (pie chart)
• Work-.DailyArrivals — Daily process resolution by work group (line chart)
• Work-.EffortProgressByOrgUnit — Effort (actual and estimated) by organization unit (line chart)
• Work-.ICCreatedResolved2y — Number of work objects created and resolved during last two years (line chart curved)
• Work-.ICCreatedResolved4w — Number of work objects created and resolved during last four weeks
• Work-.ICCreatedResolved5y — Number of work objects created and resolved during last five years
• Work-.ICcreatedResolved6m — Number of work objects created and resolved during last six months
• Work-.ICCreatedResolved7d — Number of work objects created and resolved during last seven days
• Work-.PipelineCompletedByClass — Averaged elapsed time in work object status values starting with New, Open, or Pending (bar chart).
• Work-.WeeklyThroughputIC — Throughput in past week by work type (column chart)
• Assign-Worklist.AgeByAssigneeTop5IC — Timeliness of top process owners (bar chart)

Three standard interactive column charts summarize system usage, as captured by the License Compliance facility:

• Log-License-Usage-Summary.StandardNamedUsers.ALL — Named users by period
• Log-License-Usage-Summary.StandardServicesInvocations.ALL — Service invocations
• Log-License-Usage-Summary.StandardWebInvocations.ALL — Web invocations

Notes

Using two interactive charts (each defined by a summary view rule), a list view rule, and an XML Stream rule, your application can present interactive drill-down charts.

Internally, interactive charts use the Adobe Flex 2 ™ framework with MXML, the Flex markup language, and Flash technology.
