l A Div element. It has a data-amchart attribute, as you can see when you select the
chart and open the Source view in the Workspace. The data-amchart attribute
contains settings for how the data is displayed. These settings are made via the chart's
properties (see "Enhancing a charts' design" on page579).
l A script. The script determines which data are displayed in the chart, with which colors
and labels. The script can be edited any time; see "Selecting data in a Business Graphic
script" below.
When a preview or output must be generated, the script adds the data for the chart to the
data-amchart attribute (in a dataProvider property). Connect then passes the
value of that attribute to the integrated amCharts library.

Tip
To find the script that provides data for a chart, hover over the names of the script in the Scripts
