Creating a Single Value Doughnut Chart

Users and Executives alike often request graphical data that can illustrate business trends and other KPIs. The Single Value Doughnut Chart (shown above) is a graph that can meet such a need.

Before beginning, understand that this chart will only graph one value (usually from the Grand Total level).

Implementation

Create a Report that has a single computed value, available at the Grand Total level. Once this has been accomplished, build your report and enter m-Painter.

• -Select the Single Value Doughnut chart from the "Pie" tab within the "Graph Type" tab.



• -Navigate to the "Fields" tab and ensure that only one field is selected in the "Selected Fields" area.
• -Navigate to the "Levels" tab and ensure that the "Grand Total Level" is selected.
