Reporting - Mixed - Appearance
From VersaVision Support
- OVERVIEW
- Reporting is where the user can generate reports based on the data collected by the VersaVision software.
- After adding the Data Series to the Report the user can define how the legend will appear and setup name(s) for the Y Axis.
- This page will concentrate on providing details on Selecting the Legend Position, Setting up the Y Axis, Adding a Y Axis, Deleting a Y Axis, Enabling the Stacked Bar Segment and Assigning a Data Series to a Y Axis.
- NAVIGATION
- In order to utilize the Appearance feature properly the Report/Chart must have the following items:
-
- A Report Cell selected on the Layout.
- The Cell Type set to Mixed.
- One or more Data Series added to the Cell.

-
- Click on the Stack Bar Segments switch to turn the function on.
- This option is to be used when the report has 2 Series that are directly related to one another.
- An example would be Total Uptime & Total Downtime. Using the Stack function would allow the user to view 1 bar showing the Uptime & Downtime together.
-
- By default, there will always be 1 Y-Axis present in Appearance.

- If there are multiple Series on a graph that require separate Y Axes, click on the Add Y-Axis button in the Appearance section.
- Example of this need would be a graph that has Total Downtime and Number of Incidents.
- There would be a need for a Y-Axis for Time (Seconds, Minutes, Hours) and a Y-Axis for a Whole Number.
-

- DELETE Y-AXIS
- When a report has multiple Y-Axes, the user has the ability to delete them.
- Click on the Delete Icon on the Axis that needs to be removed.
- A report will ALWAYS have 1 Y-Axis meaning the user can delete additional Y-Axes, but 1 of them must remain (cannot be removed).
