Viewing Report Data as Graphs
Go to Options, for the first drop-down, select ‘Show as Chart’.
This will reveal three further sub-menu options.
The first drop-down gives two options: 2D Charts and 3D Charts.
The second drop-down gives two options: Vertical Bar Charts and Horizontal Bar Charts.
The third drop-down offers two options: Color and B&W.
All three sub-menus are agnostic of each other.
Thus, based on various combinations, the system renders the statistical data from the tabular report.
Choices for the ‘Colors’ in the graphs are hardcoded, therefore restricted to the preconfigured gradients.
The following animation shows the sequence of steps to generate the Disability by Ethnicity report in graphical format.
