How to Configure a List › Display an Aggregation Field as a Bar or Column Graph

Display an Aggregation Field as a Bar or Column Graph

You can display a field in an aggregation row as a number, bar graph, or a column graph. By default, the field displays as a number when it is first added to the aggregation row. The following procedure describes how to display an aggregation field as a bar or column graph.

This procedure assumes that the aggregation row with number fields has been created.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Options icon that appears on the portlet toolbar.
2. Open the Options menu, and click Configure.
3. Open the List Column Section menu, and click Aggregation.
4. In the Display row, click the word that appears below the column whose display you want to change.
5. Select the display type, and click Save and Return.

   If you select bar or column graph, these words appear at the bottom of the column in the Display row.

6. To complete the setup for a bar or column graph, click Bar Graph or Column Graph in the Display Row to complete the additional fields.
7. Complete the requested information in the Primary Column section. The following fields require explanation:

   Maximum Length

   Defines the maximum length that the graph can be as a column or bar in pixels.

   Length Scaling

   Specifies what is used as the basis for scaling if you want the graph scaled.

   Threshold Line Attribute

   Specifies the field to be used to calculate a threshold for the graph.

   Threshold Aggregation Function

   Specifies the mathematical function that is used to calculate a threshold for the graph.

   Over-threshold Color

   Specifies the graph color used to indicate when the threshold has been exceeded.

8. Complete the requested information in the Stacked Column section to stack a second aggregation field value in the column of the list portlet.

   Stacked Attribute

   Specifies the second field value to be displayed as a bar or column graph in a column.

9. Save your changes.
