Chart Type list

The formats in which to display your issues. Select from:

Histogram: A bar chart that displays issue count information based on your Level 1 and Level 2 grouping selections on the Group tab. For example, if your Level 1 Group by selection is Status, and your Level 2 Group by selection is Priority, the histogram chart displays the number of issues for each Status field value: Open, Closed, or On Hold. It also displays the number of issues for each Priority field value: Top, High, Normal, Low, Lowest. If you do not have a Level 2 Group by selection, the chart displays information based only on your Level 1 Group by selection.

The sort order you specify for the Level 2 Group by selection on the Group tab determines the order in which the columns appear, left to right, on the chart; an ascending sort order lists values from lowest to highest, and a descending sort order lists values from highest to lowest. If you do not have a Level 2 Group by selection, the chart displays the sort order you specify for the Level 1 Group by selection.

Stacked Histogram: A stacked bar chart that displays issue count information based on your Level 1 and Level 2 grouping selections on the Group tab. For example, if your Level 1 Group by selection is Status, and your Level 2 Group by selection is Priority, the histogram chart displays the number of issues for each Status field value: Open, Closed, or On Hold. It also displays the number of issues for each Priority field value: Top, High, Normal, Low, Lowest. Note that you must have both Level 1 and Level 2 grouping selections to display this type of chart.

The sort order you specify for the Level 2 Group by selection on the Group tab determines the order in which the columns appear, left to right, on the chart; an ascending sort order lists values from lowest to highest, and a descending sort order lists values from highest to lowest.

Pie Chart: Displays issue count information based on your Level 1 grouping selection on the Group tab. Each slice of the pie chart displays the number of issues assigned to each Level 1 Group by selection field value. For example, if your Level 1 Group by selection is Status, the pie chart represents the number of issues for each Status field value: Open, Closed, or On Hold.

The sort order you specify for the Level 1 Group by selection on the Group tab determines the order in which the slices appear, clockwise, in the chart; an ascending sort order lists values from lowest to highest, and a descending sort by order lists values from highest to lowest.

You can select to display the chart in either Primary Colors or Pastel Colors from the Color Theme list.
