Report Definition rules
Defining & Editing Charts

Purpose

Clicking the Include a Chart button on the Design tab or the Add or Edit chart command in the Report Viewer opens the Chart Definition dialog, which lets you display report results in a chart.GATZH 3/31/10

This tab is only enabled for Summarized reports.GATZH 3/30/10

Note that Summarized reports contain two types of columns:

• At least one of the columns in the report must be a summarized column. These columns contain data that is summarized using one of the following built-in functions: COUNT(), SUM(), AVG(), MIN(), and MAX().  Examples include: counts of class instances (or record counts), total dollar amounts, average elapsed time between the entering and resolution of a work item, the most recent (maximum) date value, and the earliest (minimum) date value.
• All non-summarized columns on the report are considered group by columns, since the summarized data is grouped by, or broken out by, these other columns.
