Adding Display Objects

As a prerequisite, you have added a chapter with a section. For more information, see Adding Chapters with Sections.

To add a display object to a section

  • On section level, click Add Chart.

    All available display objects are shown.

  • Select one of the display objects. For more information, see Display Objects.

  • In the Basic section of the window, assign the Chart ID or Table ID. Optionally, you can define the name of the chart title and legend and define the grid. For the grid, you can select one of the following:

    • Inherit global grid (default): The grid value is the same as defined in Creating a New Report.
    • New grid value: Enter a specific grid value for this display object.
    • Inherit grid from signal: Select a measured signal from which the grid value shall be taken. Note that calculated signals cannot be used.

    Note that the grid value cannot be defined for Image charts as well as IUMPR, DFC, and Custom tables.

  • Configure the display object depending on your use case.

  • Click Save.

    The display object is added. You can resize and change the position of the display object via drag and drop.

  • Add as many display objects as required by starting again from step 1.
  • Click Save.

  • Enter a configuration name. Optionally, you can add comments and add tags.
  • To save your configuration to the database, click Save.
