Graph Portlet Types

There are several graph portlet types that you can create in CA Clarity PPM. Use the graph type that best suits the metrics in your query data. The graph type you select should not have fewer metrics than the minimum number of metrics in your query data.

Graphs are best for displaying data that contains several dimensions and metrics.
