Data Browser / Widget - Pie and Bar Chart

Charts can be used on dashbaords or Data browsers. They provide a visual (graphic) representation of the data at the level selected in the Data Browser or Navigation Tree.

When a series is applied to the PIE chart you can de-select some of the options by clicking on them in the key area.

You will notice that slice of the PIE will disappear and the option in the key range will be greyed out.

This can be useful if one is a large expense, then you can see the comparison between the smaller expenses.

This is also possible with bar charts, by clicking on the key items to hide them.
