Data Series MOD009DH6 | Customizing

Introduction

Customizer → Layout Objects → Charts → Chart Configurations by Work Area → Click on the link of the required chart to open the Chart Customizer→ Data Series
Customizer → Layout Objects → Charts → Chart Configurations Direct Editing → Click on the link of the required chart to open the Chart Customizer → Data Series
Open the required user module → Click on the button on a chart to open the Chart Customizer → Data Series

Information

In this module you can edit the attributes of the data series of a chart.
Depending on the chart type of the opened chart, different data areas are displayed in the module

Note

The button for opening the Chart Customizer is only displayed to users with customizer rights.

Notes

You can only create one data series per pie chart.
By right-clicking in the module and selecting the Configure series-specific markers context menu command, you can insert a custom marker configuration in the Marker module which will only be used for the respective data series.
By right-clicking in the module and selecting the Edit data points context menu command, you can configure the data points of a data series individually in the Data Points module.
- By configuring data points individually, the corresponding settings which have possibly been configured in the Data Series module are overwritten.

Example

Chart Attributes

Information

An attribute is linked to a value from the source area via the Python ID.
- The value of the data field is then further processed.

General Attributes

Attribute	Explanation
`DA Python ID`	Python ID of the source data area
`Type`	The chart type in which the data series is to be represented, e.g. `Line` or `Pie`
`Name`	Text in the legend
`Text`	Name on the data point
`Symbol`	Applies the data field color to the data point. Works with traffic lights
`Action`	Defines a data field the action of which will be triggered when the data point is clicked on
`Grouping`	The values of the series are grouped by the value in this data field
`Initially visible`	When deactivated, the values of this series will not be displayed initially and must be activated via the legend
`X`	Point on the X-axis at which the data point is to be set
`Y`	Point on the Y-axis at which the data point is to be set
`Label symbol`	ID of the PLANTA symbol which is used to determine the text font. Overrides `LabelSize` and `LabelColor` attributes of the marker object.
`Display data label`	Determines whether the value labels are displayed in the chart itself, i.e., on the data points or circle segments. Default value: active. If the attribute is deactivated, the value can be shown in the legend via `Legend Text`. This setting applies independently of `Label Position`.
`Legend text`	Template for the label of the data series in the legend. The same placeholders as in tooltips are available, such as `${point.x}`, `${point.y}`, `${point.text}`, and `${series.name}`, each with a format specifier such as `${point.y:C}`. In pie and donut diagrams the template is analyzed per circular segment. If the attribute stays empty, the default label appears. For axis charts the name of the data series and for pie charts the category of the circular segment.
`Maximum length label`	Maximum length of the label in characters
`Zero value behavior`	This parameter is used to configure how 0 values are taken into account and how they are displayed in the chart. Possible settings: Zero Drop Gap Zero value applies to all chart types except process, risk, and opportunity. The `Average` value is no longer supported starting from DB 27 and is changed to `Gap` in the update.

Attributes for Bar/Gantt Charts

Attribute	Explanation
`Column width`	Width of the columns or bars as a share of the available width, value between 0 and 1. The smaller the value, the bigger the distance between the columns. Default value: 0.7. The value of the first data series of the chart applies. As of DB 27, this attribute replaces the removed `Column Spacing` attribute. During the update, an existing column spacing value is carried over if no column width was set.
`Label Image DF`	Data field with image output whose image is displayed as a small round icon next to the category label of the respective bar. If the attribute is left empty, no icons are displayed and the layout remains unchanged. A category whose data field does not contain an image receives neither an icon nor a placeholder. Currently only applies to horizontal bar charts.

Attribute

Explanation

Column width

Width of the columns or bars as a share of the available width, value between 0 and 1. The smaller the value, the bigger the distance between the columns. Default value: 0.7.

The value of the first data series of the chart applies. As of DB 27, this attribute replaces the removed Column Spacing attribute. During the update, an existing column spacing value is carried over if no column width was set.

Label Image DF

Data field with image output whose image is displayed as a small round icon next to the category label of the respective bar. If the attribute is left empty, no icons are displayed and the layout remains unchanged.

A category whose data field does not contain an image receives neither an icon nor a placeholder. Currently only applies to horizontal bar charts.

Attributes for Pie Charts

Attribute	Explanation
`Category (X)`	Name of the circular segment
`Number (Y)`	Fraction value of the circular segment
`Explode`	When activated, the circular segments can be detached and inserted again by clicking
`Radius`	Defines the size of the segment radius in percent (in relation to the chart size)
`Inner radius`	Converts the pie chart into a donut diagram by releasing a percentage inside the diagram
`Donut Center Label`	Text that is displayed in the middle of a donut chart above the value. In addition to fixed text, the Python ID of a data field can be used to display its value. If the attribute is left empty, the entire label in the center, including the value, is omitted. The attribute only takes effect if `Inner Radius` is greater than 0%.
`Donut Center Total Text`	Value displayed in the center of a donut chart below `Donut Center Label`. In addition to fixed text, the Python ID of a data field can be used. If the attribute is left empty, the chart displays the sum of all data points. The attribute only takes effect if `Donut Center Label` is filled in.
`Donut Center Label Bold`	Determines whether the label in the middle of the donut chart (`Donut Center Label`) is displayed in bold. Default value: inactive. The display of the value underneath remains unchanged.
`Donut Center Label Font Size`	Font size of the label in the middle of the donut chart (`Donut Center Label`). A value without a unit is interpreted as pixels. Default value: `12px`
`Label position`	Configures whether a text field with the number of circular segments is displayed. Possible values: `Inside`, `Outside`
`Label size`	Font size of the label in pixels (default = 12)

Note

As of DB 27, the attributes Offset, Label Overflow, Label Text Wrap, and Label Width are no longer used. The label length is limited in characters via Label Maximum Length. The values of the removed attributes are not carried over during the update.

Attribute for range charts

Attribute	Explanation
`Low`	The lower value of the data point
`High`	The upper value of the data point

Attributes for Scatter Plots

Attribute	Explanation
`Frame width`	Is used for defining the frame width of the empty rhombs in master milestone status charts (scatter plots). Default is 0 (no frame). Values from 0 provide a frame.

Attribute for Bubble Charts

Attribute	Explanation
`Size`	Determines the size of the bubble
`Invert size`	Defines whether the size is to be inverted in bubble data series. When activated, greater values will be represented by smaller bubbles.
`Min. radius`	The minimum radius of a bubble
`Max. radius`	The maximum radius of a bubble
