Editing a dataset report on a document changes only the grid or graph dataset in the document; it does not change the original report. To format the Grid/Graph control that the dataset report is placed in, see Formatting Grid/Graphs, which discusses borders, title bars, and quick switch, among other properties.
For examples, images, and details on working with graphs, see the Graphing chapter in the Advanced Reporting Guide.
Open the document in Design or Editable Mode.
Select the Grid/Graph to edit.
Note: If the Grid/Graph is a shortcut, you cannot edit
it because it is linked to the dataset report. A message appears, allowing
you to choose whether to unlink the shortcut. If you click OK, changes made to the dataset
report are no longer passed to the Grid/Graph in the document.
To change the graph type and sub-type, select them from the first two-drop down lists on the Graph toolbar.
To format a part of the Grid/Graph, right-click the Grid/Graph and select Format. The Format: Graph dialog box opens.
To apply a rounded effect, specify font sizing, and adjust the maximum categories and series, select the General category.
To change graph options, such as titles and series colors, select the Format tab.
You can select whether to hide or display legends by selecting Format from the first drop-down list, and Legend from the second drop-down list. Select the Show check box to display the legend. From the Position drop-down list, select where to display the legend.
To customize the format of each axis in the graph, select the Axes category.
For examples, images, details, and steps to design and work with graph reports, see the Advanced Reporting Guide.
