Creating a Graph (Pre-Fusion Charts)

Note:  This topic applies to the graphing tool, which is supported for backward compatibility.  We recommend, if you want to add charts or gauges to a form, that you use the newer FusionCharts tool instead.
  1. Open a form and display the collection of records you want to graph.

    If you do not want to see the graphs for all records in the collection, you can either filter the collection to display only the records you do want to see, or (especially if you want to view the graph for one particular record) select the record you want to start with in the grid view.

  2. Select Actions > Graph.
  3. In the first page of the Graph Collection dialog box, select the information you want to include in the graph. In the list, click one or more properties (field names) that identify the information you want to graph.

    The system uses a different color in the graph for each property you include.

  4. Click Next.
  5. In the second page, select the information to appear in the horizontal axis labels.

    If you do not want any labels for the horizontal axis, do not select anything from this page.

  6. Click Next. The system displays a preliminary view of the graph. By default, the graph is a 2D column chart with 8 columns.
