When you use the New Chart wizard or Chart Settings box to create a chart, you need to select Chart Contents and Based on values to set a focus for the chart. Most activities allow a variety of parameters for focusing the chart. The Chart Contents determine what data will be retrieved (Top, Bottom, or Trend) and what labels will be used (User Names, Device Types, etc.). The Based on value determines from which field to retrieve data, and the value given to each bar, pie slice, or data point.
NOTE: Chart data shown is always limited to the criteria selected.
