To generate an X-Y chart

Go to the Reports page to create X-Y charts.

You create an X-Y chart by selecting the records of interest and then either specifying the Attributes you want to plot, or by selecting a report template that specifies the information to be plotted. Report templates are managed by your Granta MI Data Administrator.

  1. Click Reports on the toolbar.
  2. The Record List shows the currently-selected records. Add or delete records from the list, as required, then click X-Y Charts X-Y Chart.
    The maximum number of records in a report is a user option and can be altered via Settings>Options
  3. If templates have been configured for your database, you can select one from the Report Template list and then click Plot Chart.
  4. If no templates are available, or if you just want to define your own chart, select the X- and Y-axis Attributes and range settings. Auto-scale will scale the chart to automatically show all the selected records.
  5. Optional: Add a Chart Title, if desired.
  6. Click Plot Chart.
