Creating Custom Charts
You can create custom saved charts that represent a particular time slice for administrative reference. To create charts, you specify attributes such as type, time frame for reporting, and chart style, and select categories and groups from which to create the chart.
Note: To create charts, you must have View permission for Manage Report/Dashboard.
To create a custom chart:
- From the Home tab, from the Statistics drop-down menu, select Charts.
The Charts page displays.
- Click the Report Manager button.
The Report Manager shows the canned charts on the left side of the page. Saved charts and scheduled reports appear in the Chart Management & Report Scheduling on the right side.
The timestamp on all charts is based on the administrator's time zone.
- Click the Create New Chart link.
The Create New Saved Chart window displays.
- In the Step 1 section of the page, specify the attributes for this chart, which are described in the following table.
The Chart Title, Chart Type, and Time Window attributes apply to all charts, and the Top attribute applies to all Top N charts. Other attributes available depend on the Chart Type you select.

The Compared option works in conjunction with Report Groups.
