Working with a Line Chart widget

A line chart displays horizontal lines to illustrate the differences between specified categories. For example, the total sales potential of opportunities by account manager.

Line chart widgets are used to define and compare multiple data sources. Defining more than one data source creates a stacked or grouped line chart where multiple lines display for each item. For example, the total sales potential and total actual sales of opportunities by account manager.
