Chart

Add charts to an application to present data in a graphical way. Charts can emphasize irregularities or trends in data, and help you focus your business analysis on those areas.

The chart widget is used in both stories and analytic applications. Only the properties specific for the analytics designer are listed here.

Property Value

Property Description

Name

String

Defines the unique name of a table. If you do not enter a name, the system takes the default name (for example Chart_1).

To make it possible to create a new story for the chart directly from the chart widget, select the option Create Story from Widget in the section Quick Menus of the chart widget's Styling panel. When you run the analytic application, you'll be able to select the icon next to the chart and choose Create a New Story.

Smart Grouping

Smart Grouping is available for both the Bubble and Scatterplot chart types when using a Correlation analysis. Use Smart Grouping to automatically analyze the data points in your chart and group them based on similar properties.

After enabling smart grouping for a chart, you as an application designer can leverage the APIs provided to let end users customize the number of groups and group labels. The end users can also decide whether to make smart grouping visible or to include tooltip measures. For example:

Sample Code
Chart_1.getSmartGrouping().setNumberOfGroups(5);

For more detailed information about the API, refer to Analytics Designer API Reference in the SAP Help Portal.
