Configuring the Properties of a Chart Display

You configure chart display properties in the Properties view. As you change the properties, the chart display is updated. There are also adjustments that are made directly in the report view (see Adjusting the Chart Display).

Note Changes to chart display properties are not saved in the report instance. When you next execute the report instance, the report is generated with default chart display properties.
