Root Cause

User was trying to use Charts requiring functionality used in previous PRPC version which is no more supported in Pega 7.1.7.

Resolution

The below local change has been provided to address the issue:

1. For Charts requiring functionality used in previous PRPC version, user must use old Chart control in Pega 7.1.7 as the new HTML5 compliant Chart control does not have actions and exporting features yet.

In order to use that old Chart control, user must add a simple control (Basic>Label) and then change control type with these steps:

Open control properties and on Parameters TAB use button with Internet Explorer to edit parameters required.

2. It was advised to use the same type of Charts in any single layout. User may use Copy and then Paste using existing old Chart control.

3. In some situations when user manually add Chart control by replacing Label, the UI cannot render the Chart and, this Chart is not visible at run-time.
