About this task

To insert a tree chart:

Procedure

  1. Double-click the created object and add any controls (for example, labels) with the necessary values to display them in the [object_name].
  2. In the All Data Sources tree, navigate to the table or query that will be run to obtain the layout object's query result set and click Next.
    The Tree chart options page opens.
  3. In the Parent field drop-down list, select the name of the data column in your query result set that will be used for the parent cell in the Tree chart.
  4. In the Child field drop-down list, select the name of the data column in your query result set that will be used as the child cell in the Tree chart.
  5. Select the Include a label check box to include a label in each of the parent and child cells of the Tree chart.
  6. In the Label field drop-down list, select the name of a data column in your query result set that will contain the label information for each parent and child cell in the tree chart.
    You must select a data column from the drop-down list of available data columns that are in your query result set if you selected the Include a label check box.
  7. In the Number of levels to initially display field, specify the maximum number of levels that are displayed initially in the tree chart under the parent objects. Type the number of levels in the field.
    A value of 1 will display one level.
  8. Click Finish.
    The Tree Chart Wizard closes and the chart is displayed in the editor window.
