3. Click in the layout and drag a rectangle where you want your chart to appear.
Important You can create a chart in any layout part, but the data in the chart is evaluated based on the
layout part in which the chart is located.
4. In the Chart Setup dialog box, for Chart Type, choose the type of chart you want to create: Bar, Horizontal
Bar, Line, Area, or Pie.
5. For Chart Title, type a title for the chart (for example, Stock Value of ABC Company). Or, click
to specify a title.
After you type a title, it appears enclosed in quotation marks. When you specify a field or calculation,
you see the fully qualified field name in the Chart Title text box, and data from this field in your database
appears in the chart preview on the right.

1 Bar, line, or area charts: For Horizontal (X) Axis, type the fully qualified name of the field representing
the data series you want to chart (for example, Table 1::Month), or click
to specify a data
series for the X-axis.
Note For horizontal bar charts, the horizontal axis is the Y-axis and the vertical axis is the X-axis.
1 Pie charts: For Label Data, type the fully qualified name of the field representing the data series you want
to chart (for example, Table 1::Company). Or, click
to specify a data series for the label data.
7. Do one of the following:
1 Bar, line, or area charts: For Vertical (Y) Axis, type the fully qualified name of the field representing the
data series you want to chart (for example, Table 1::Price). Or, click
to specify a data series.
1 Pie charts: For Value Data, type the fully qualified name of the field representing the data set you want
to chart (for example, Table 1::Company Count). Or, click
to specify a data series.
Note For pie charts, if you enter more than one data series for Value Data, only the first entry is
evaluated, and all others are ignored.
