Charts

Chart Style	Example
Point Data is displayed as a series of data points.
FastLine, Line Data is displayed as a series of data points connected by straight line segments. A FastLine chart is a type of line chart with a very large number of data points.
Bar Data is grouped and represented by vertical rectangular bars whose lengths are proportional to the values they represent.
Area Data is displayed as a series of data points connected by straight line segments. The areas between the chart axis and the line segments are emphasized with color.
HBar Data is grouped and represented by horizontal rectangular bars whose lengths are proportional to the values they represent.
Pie Data is represented as slices of a circle to show the relationships of parts to a whole. The arc length, central angle, and area of each slice are proportional to the quantity of data that the slice represents.
Doughnut Data is represented as slices of a circle, with a hole in the center, to show the relationships of parts to a whole. The arc length, central angle, and area of each slice are proportional to the quantity of data that the slice represents.
Pyramid Data is grouped and represented as stacked sections of a triangle to show the hierarchy and quantity of data.
Funnel Data is grouped and represented as stacked sections of a funnel to show the hierarchy and quantity of data.
Stacked Bars are stacked on top of each other to display grouped data. It provides a wider view of data than a regular bar chart. A stacked chart is useful in an Open Activities activity report to show several actions that occurred on a particular day or date.
Gauge Partitions on the chart indicate three ranges in relation to a target value; below, approaching, exceeded. The gauge needle indicates the current value. A gauge chart is useful in an Actual vs Target sales report to show how your actual sales compare to your forecasted sales for a particular period. You could also use a gauge chart in a customer service report to show how you're performing against your SLA target. For an example of using a gauge chart, see Adding a gauge chart to a sales report.
Combination A bar chart indicates one set of data and a line chart indicates another set of data so you can get a wider view of results in one place. A combination chart is useful in a Monthly Sales Trends report to show information such as the revenue earned from sales and the number of sales that were closed in a particular period. You could also use a combination chart in a customer service report to show the number of cases opened compared to the number of cases closed in the system for the current year. For an example of using a combination chart, see Adding a combination chart to a customer service report.
