Pie Chart - Data - Series
From VersaVision Support
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. NOTE: 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.
When a Report Cell has been selected on the layout and it is setup as a Pie Chart type, the Series field will be visible on the right side of the layout under the Cell heading.
All sections available under this heading are addressed in the information on this page.
