Rows are series (Bar Charts and Line Charts only). The chart uses one color per
record in the detail table. For each data field selected under Columns, a series of
bars or lines in different colours is added to the chart.
With the options to fill a chart dynamically you also have to select a detail table and a
(row) label: a data field of which the value appears near the parts in a pie chart or under
the bars or points of the line in a bar chart or line chart. The label is also used for the
legend. Note that initially the legend is not visible. To make it visible, check the option
Show legend in the chart's properties (see "Business graphic properties" below).

Changing a business graphic
Chart script
The script related to a business graphic determines which values are used to generate the
graphic. Double-click the script on the Scripts pane to change this.
Tip
To find the script that fills the chart, hover over the names of the script in the Scripts pane. That
script will highlight the chart in the template and its selector is the same as the ID of the business
graphic (preceded by #).
For an explanation of the options in the Script wizard, see step 5 of "Adding a business
graphic" on the previous page.
Business graphic properties
A chart is always added with the chart's default properties. To change those properties, such as
the colors and the legend, open the Chart properties dialog: right-click the business graphic (on
the Design tab in the Workspace) and select the respective business graphic on the shortcut
menu.
