Attributes

Description

Edit Chart: Chart Designer

(CUSTOMIZE)

The button with the three dots brings you to the Chart Designer. You can choose the chart type and make a number of settings for the chart. See Editing Charts.

Suppress Totals

(SUPPRESS_SUMS)

'X' = Yes, '  '  = No

The totals rows/columns of the source data provider are not displayed in the chart. This means that you can suppress totals that may affect the chart display adversely, without having to change the data provider.

Swap Display Axes

(SWITCHMATRIX)

'X' = Yes, '  '  = No

You can swap the chart axes in the display without changing the navigational state of the query view itself.

This has the same effect as swapping the two free characteristics with one another in the initial query view.

Hide Expanded Hierarchy Nodes

(SUPPRESS_OPENHIERARCHIENODES)

'X' = Yes, '  '  = No

You can remove open nodes when you create charts in active presentation hierarchies. This ensures that the total of the values displayed is the overall result.

Affected Data Provider

(TARGET_DATA_PROVIDER)

List of data providers to which all chart commands are sent.

Automatic Display of Units and Currencies

(AUTOMATIC_LABELS)

'X' = Yes, '  '  = No

If the units and currencies or other settings in the query are the same, and you select the attribute, these are the units, currencies, and settings which are displayed automatically on the chart.  

Alternatively, you can set the display of units and currencies manually. See Formatting Axes and Gridlines in the section „Inserting or Removing Axes Titles and Units “.

Ignore Exception in Chart Display

(IGNORE_EXCEPTIONS)

If you activate this attribute no exceptions are displayed in the chart, although the data provider on which it is based has exceptions. See Display of Exceptions for Maps and Charts.

Automatic Axis Labeling for Simple Charts

(AUTOMATIC_DESCRIPTION)

This attribute enables the system to create labels automatically for the chart axes for very simple charts such as column-, bar, or line diagrams. For example, the name of a key figure appears on the Y axis in a bar chart.

For more information, see Automatic Axis Labels for Simple Charts.

Heading

You can enter a heading for the chart. This heading is not a part of the chart.

Within Chart Designer, you also have the option of specifying a heading. This is not a part of the chart, however.
