Parameter

Description

Width in Pixels (WIDTH)

You use this parameter to determine the width of the Web item.

Height in Pixels (HEIGHT)

You use this parameter to determine the height of the Web item.

Visibility (VISIBILITY)

You use this parameter to determine whether the Web item is visible in the Web application.

With Tray (WITH_TRAY)

You use this parameter to determine whether the Chart Web item has a symbol that allows the Web item to be expanded and collapsed. For more information on this parameter, see Parameter: Tray. 

Parameter

Description

Edit Chart (CHART_CUSTOMIZING)

The button for this parameter brings you to the Chart Designer. Here you can make a number of settings for the chart. See Editing Charts.

Chart Type (CHART_TYPE)

You use this parameter to select the required chart type. The default value is Column Chart.

Legend Type

(LEGEND_TYPE)

You can use this parameter to make the following settings for the legend:

●     Legend (default setting)

The legend is displayed.

●     None

The legend is hidden.

●     Data table visible

The system displays the data below the chart in a table.

Position of the chart legend

If you chose Legend, the option Position of the Chart Legend appears. You can choose from the following options:

●     North (N)

●     East (E)

●     South (S)

●     West (W)

The default value is South (S).

Legend Only (LEGEND_ONLY)

You use this parameter to determine that only the legend be displayed without the chart.

Results Visible (RESULTS_VISIBLE)

You use this parameter to determine whether the results are displayed in the chart or are hidden.

This parameter is deactivated by default and the totals rows/columns for the underlying 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 Axes for Display
(AXES_SWAPPED)

You use this parameter to swap the chart axes in the display without changing the navigational state of the query view itself.

You get the same effect if you swap the two free characteristics with one another in the initial query view.

Display Expanded Hierarchy Nodes (OPEN_HIERARCHY_NODES_VISIBLE)

You use this parameter to determine whether expanded hierarchy nodes are displayed in the chart or are hidden.

If you deactivate this parameter, it is possible to take the expanded nodes out of the chart generation when the presentation hierarchy is active. This ensures that the total of the values displayed is the overall result.

Display Exceptions (EXCEPTIONS_VISIBLE)

You use this parameter to determine whether exceptions are displayed in the chart or are hidden.

This parameter is deactivated by default and exceptions are not displayed in the chart, although the data provider on which it is based has exceptions. See Displaying Exceptions in Maps and Charts.

Parameter

Description

Activate Navigation (INTERACTION_ALLOWED)

You use this parameter to determine whether navigation and other interaction is possible in the Web application.

Parameter

Description

Data Provider
(DATA_PROVIDER_REF)

You use this parameter to assign a data provider to the Web item. The Web item gets the data and metadata that it needs to generate the output and commands from this data provider.

We recommend that you keep to the conventions supported by the Web Application Designer when specifying names: The name should be a maximum of 30 characters long and consist of characters “A-Z”, “0-9” and “_”, but cannot start or end with “_”. Adhering to these conventions facilitates the upgrade to future SAP releases.

Affected Data Provider (LINKED_DATA_PROVIDER_REF_LIST)

You use this parameter to determine the list of data providers to which all chart commands are sent.

Parameter

Description

Title (TITLE)

You use this parameter to determine the language-dependent text for the title of the chart.

Diagram Subtitle (language-dependent) (SUBTITLE)

You use this parameter to determine the language-dependent text for the subtitle of the chart.

Legend Title (language-dependent) (TITLE_LEGEND)

You use this parameter to determine the language-dependent text for the title of the legend.

Override Automatic Axis Labeling

(OVERRIDE_AXIS_DESC)

You use this parameter to determine whether or not to override automatic axis labeling.

If you do not select this parameter, the system creates labeling for the chart axes of simple charts such as column, bar, line, and profile charts. For example, the name of a key figure appears on the Y axis in a bar chart.

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

If you select this parameter, you can choose between the following options for overriding the automatic labeling of the axes:

●     Category axis (X): Title (language-dependent) (TITLE_CATEGORY_AXIS)

You use this parameter to determine the language-dependent text for the title of the category axis (X).

●     Value axis (Y): Title (language-dependent) (TITLE_VALUE_AXIS)

You use this parameter to determine the language-dependent text for the title of the value axis (Y).

●     Secondary category axis (X): Title (language-dependent) (TITLE_SEC_CATEGORY_AXIS)

You use this parameter to determine the language-dependent text for the title of the secondary category axis (X). This parameter is only needed for specific chart types such as histograms or a scatter charts.

●     Secondary value axis (Y): Title (language-dependent) (TITLE_SEC_VALUE_AXIS)

You use this parameter to determine the language-dependent text for the title of the secondary value axis (Y).

Override Automatic Display of Units and Currencies

(OVERRIDE_AXIS_LABEL)

You use this parameter to determine whether or not to override the automatic display of units and currency.

If the units and currencies or other settings in the query are the same and you do not select this parameter, these are the units, currencies, and settings that are displayed automatically on the chart.  

If you select this parameter, you can choose between the following options for overriding the automatic display:

●     Category axis (X): Unit (language-dependent) (UNIT_CATEGORY_AXIS)

You use this parameter to determine the language-dependent text for the unit of the category axis (X).

●     Value axis (Y): Unit (language-dependent) (UNIT_VALUE_AXIS)

You use this parameter to determine the language-dependent text for the unit of the value axis (Y).

●     Secondary category axis (X): unit (language-dependent) (UNIT_SEC_CATEGORY_AXIS)

You use this parameter to determine the language-dependent text for the unit of the secondary category axis (X). This parameter is only needed for specific chart types such as histograms or scatter charts.

●     Secondary value axis (Y): Unit (language-dependent) (UNIT_SEC_VALUE_AXIS)

You use this parameter to determine the language-dependent text for the unit of the secondary value axis (Y).
