Configure CA Clarity PPM Chart Web Parts

After adding a CA Clarity PPM Chart Web Part to a CA Clarity PPM project site, configure it to create the chart to view. You configure a CA Clarity PPM Chart Web Part by using the tool pane associated with the Web Part. The CA Clarity PPM Data Provider list in the tool pane displays all the available data providers.

The CA Clarity PPM Chart Web Part also displays a legend that identifies each series in the chart.

Note: If two or more records with the same category value are retrieved for the selected data provider, only the first is included in the chart. For example, if you select Task as the data provider for the chart and the task name as the category attribute. If the same task name appears for multiple tasks, only the first task is included in the chart. Therefore, ensure that the selected attributes display as categories on the chart have unique values.

Follow these steps:

  1. In the CA Clarity PPM Chart Web Part, click Edit, and then click Modify Shared Web Part.

    The tool pane appears.

  2. In the CA Clarity PPM section of the tool pane, do the following:
    CA Clarity PPM Data Provider

    Specifies the data provider. After you select a data provider from the CA Clarity PPM Data Provider list, the Category Attribute and Series Attributes fields are automatically populated with the attributes contained in the data provider.

    Chart Type

    Select the type of chart.

    Chart Title

    Enter a title for the chart.

    Category Attribute

    Select the attribute for plotting on the category axis.

    Series Attributes

    Select the attributes for plotting on the series axis. You can select multiple series attributes. However, certain chart types, such as pie charts and doughnut charts, do not support multiple series attributes.

    Value (Y) Axis Label

    Enter a name for the set of series attributes selected.

  3. (Optional) Customize the Web Part by providing details in the Appearance, Layout, and Advanced sections.

    Note: For more information about customizing the Web Part, see the Microsoft Windows SharePoint documentation.

  4. Click OK.

    The CA Clarity PPM Chart Web Part displays the chart.
