Info Tab

In the header of the GPS there is an info symbol (). Click on the  icon to open a tab with relevant information:

  • the version number of the installed extension (important information for the support)
  • link to the graphomate Support Desk
  • to the general terms and conditions
  • to the graphomate website and
  • a list of the software libraries used (Credits)

Checkboxes

An active property is indicated by a white check mark in the checkbox. To deactivate it, click on the checkbox again.

Color Picker

You can enter the color value as HEX code or click on the colored circle.

Use the Color Picker or enter color values as HEX, RGB, or HSL code. You switch between these color models using the small arrows on the right side of the color picker.

Adding new elements to lists

Click on the  icon to create new elements in a list.

Actions with elements of a list

When hovering over an entry, different icons may appear and cause the following action:

Moves the entry up or down in the list

Creates a copy of the entry

. Click on the icon to delete the selected entry.

Filter Option

In some cases, it is necessary that several settings are only applied to certain key figures, dimensions or dimensional characteristics. You can use the filter option to define the combination to which the setting is to be applied.

In the example on the left, the desired setting is only applied to the key figure "budget". This can be, for example, a certain number formatting, a scenario or a certain icon for displaying the key figure.

Filter states can be defined in the following settings of graphomate extensions: 

  • graphomate chart
    • Target Dimension Filter for N + Rest
    • Scenarios By Dataselection
  • graphomate matrix
    • Value Format
    • Calculations/Deviations
    • Scenario Assignment
    • Bar Chart Assignment
    • Pin Chart Assignment
    • Background Bar Assignment
  • graphomate bubbles
    • Value Format
  • graphomate pictograms
    • Pictograms/Icon Assignment

In addition, of course, filters are set via the SAC Data Binding.

Copy Filter

Filter settings on dimensions can be saved to the clipboard and reused in other graphomate extensions settings. Use the  symbols for this purpose.


Input mode: Field / comma separated list (csv)

Properties with the symbol allow the definition of settings on the graphomate property sheet in two variants. The mode can be changed by clicking on thesymbol. The following modes are available:

  1. per field: The value is entered per field. After one field has been filled, another field is created automatically. For the Scenario Assignement (see picture) a list with all configured scenarios appears. By clicking on the scenario, the property for the element of the series is applied.
  2. As a list: The entry is made as a comma-separated list.

Example: Application of the scenarios to elements of a series (see picture)

The first series contains two actual values (AC) and a forecast value (FC). The second series contains only values from the previous period (PP). You can enter the assignment of the scenarios as follows:

Variant per field for series 1: AC (field 1), AC (field 2), FC (field 3), AC (field 4, highlighted in the list)

Variant as list for series 2: PP,PP,PP,PP,
