Displaying multiple query results in a single layout

For many layout objects, you can display the results of multiple queries in a single layout object.

About this task

For example, you could create a single XY chart that displays sales figures derived from one query and spending figures derived from another query. Each set of query results data that is drawn in a single layout object has its own data template. When you include multiple data templates (sets of query results) in a layout, each data template is drawn in the order in which it appears in the Layout folder in the Project Explorer view. The data template that appears last in the folder is drawn last and therefore appears on top of all previous layers.

You can add data templates to the following layout objects:

  • Candlestick Chart
  • Event Band Chart
  • Linear Map
  • Scatter Chart
  • Stock Chart
  • Timeline Chart
  • Column Chart
  • Bar Chart
