Creating and Formatting Graphs from a Collection

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.

There are at least two ways you can redisplay data from a collection of records using a graph format:

If you have copied the data to a spreadsheet, you can use the graphing capabilities of the spreadsheet program.
See the documentation for your spreadsheet application.
You can redisplay the data in graph format within the system, using the built-in graphing capabilities.

To create a graph using the system graphing capabilities, you identify what information is to be used to construct the graph and what type of graph is to be drawn, such as a bar graph or a line graph.

See Creating a Graph (Pre-Fusion Charts).

After the graph is displayed, you can adjust it, including changing the information included, changing the type of graph, and adjusting the labels.

See Editing or Reformatting a Graph (Pre-Fusion Charts).

When you're satisfied with the online display, you can handle the results by saving, copying, or printing the graph.

See Handling the Graph Results (Pre-Fusion Charts).
