OVERVIEW
Reporting is where the user can generate reports based on the data collected by the VersaVision software.
There are multiple components inside Reporting, this page is focused on the Series - Data component for a Pie Chart Type report cell.
A series is a way to define data to be used on the Pie Chart.
Pie Charts only show 1 Series on a report.
The first Visible Series is what will show in the Pie Chart.
This page will concentrate on providing details on Adding, Editing, Duplicating, Deleting, Moving or Expanding a Data Series from a Pie Chart Report Cell.


NAVIGATION
