The Add Dashboard Panel dialog box or the Edit Dashboard Panel dialog box is displayed.

Features

When creating a Horizontal Bar Chart panel, you enter the following information:

Feature

Description

Specify the items to chart

You can select any number of dimension members to chart.

For information about selecting dimension members, see Dimension Member Selection in Select Dialog Boxes.

Set filters

You can filter dimensions by one member.

For information about selecting dimension members, see Dimension Member Selection in Select Dialog Boxes.

Set the layout of the panel

You can specify the dimension's members to chart, set the periodicity, and specify the metric to report on.

When selecting the metric, do not select one with text values. Text metrics do not appear correctly in the report.

Scale large values

If the numbers in the report are large and appear to be merging between columns, you can scale the values.

The scale affects all the columns of data except percentages. For example, if you scale numbers such as 1,000,000 and 2,000,000 by 1,000, all the numbers are divided by 1,000 and appear as 1,000 and 2,000. The label at the bottom of the panel identifies Scale: 000's.

Activities

To add a Horizontal Bar Chart panel to the dashboard, select Horizontal Bar Chart from the Module Type drop-down list.
