Data Types

Assignment

Specify data types for each individual diagram element of the used data series. Using data types, you can format each element independently in the diagrams. You define data types on the Definition tab (see below).

For the graphomate tables there is only one data series. An element corresponds to a column.

Example (charts): Series 1 and 2 each contain eight values. The data types AC, PP and BU have been created via the definition. The first four values of the series 1 are to have the data type PP, the last four the data type AC, while for the second series, all values are to be linked with the data type BU. On the Assignment tab, you must specify PP, PP, PP, PP, AC, AC, AC, and Series 2: BU, BU, BU, BU, BU, BU, BU, BU.

Example (tables): The table has four columns. The first column shows the current data, the second the previous year, the third the budget, and the fourth the forecast. On the Assigment tab, enter the only available input field: AC, PP, BU, FC

Definition

This editor is used to define the data types whose abbreviations can be used on the Assignment tab (see above) and by means of which you can determine the format of the diagram elements individually. You specify these abbreviations in the Name column.

Color, Fill, and Shape determine the appearance of the elements. Shape refers to the pin and line heads. The width determines the width of the elements. This can be specified by the % / abs switch both as a percentage of the category width and absolutely in [px]. Width can not be used for stack and waterfall. The last setting Bold sets the font of the data label of the data type to bold.

It is currently possible to create ten different data types.

Unlike Lumira Designer, the DataTypes in WebI are not globally available but have to be redefined per chart.

It is possible to import a data type definition from Lumira Designer via the setting Custom CSS (on Display tab of the components).
