Complete this optional tab to present summary view data as a chart. PRPC supports both static charts (an image) and interactive charts (defined through Adobe Flash).

User workstations retain chart images in the browser cache. When testing charts with Internet Explorer, select Tools> Internet Options > General and click Delete Files to clear the Temporary Internet Files cache to ensure that you see up-to-date chart output.

To define either type of chart, select the Use a chart for the view? box.
