How to display Statistics

Authorized users (Managers) can be provided with graphs (bar and pie) presenting any sort of statistical data (the progress of a project, the condition of objects, etc.). A graph can be pointed at any column in any module, but some columns will be more useful to represent in a graph than others. This example graphically displays the condition of objects in the Catalogue:

Available graphs (bar and pie) are listed under the Statistics heading:

1. To create a new graph, click in the Statistics section.
2. Complete the top four fields:

   Title	Give the graph a descriptive name. This name will be listed in the Statistics section for authorized users.
   Description	Add a description of the purpose of the graph. When users access the graph, an Information icon will display alongside the title. Clicking the icon will display a pop-up with details about the graph.
   Identifier	In the Identifier field, add a descriptive identifier (or leave blank and an alphanumeric identifier will be assigned automatically).
   Table	The module that holds the data that will be graphed.

3. Specify permissions.

   See How to specify permissions (How to specify permissions for project elements) for details.

4. Complete the Statistic Designer fields:

   Type	The type of graph: bar pie
   Sort Column	The column holding the data to be graphed.

5. It is possible to filter values returned from Sort Column:

   1. Click .
   2. Specify a Column and Value to filter results displayed in the graph.

   The graph shown above is configured as:

   

6. Save the graph.
