Providing Data

The Dashboard Designer allows you to bind various dashboard items to data in a virtually uniform manner. To learn more, see the Binding Dashboard Items to Data topic.

The only difference is in the data sections that the required dashboard item has. This topic describes how to bind a Scatter Chart dashboard item to data in the Designer.

The Scatter Chart dashboard item has the following data sections.

The X-Axis section contains the data item against which the X-coordinates of data points are calculated.

The Y-Axis section contains the data item against which the Y-coordinates of data points are calculated.

The Weight section contains the data item whose values are used to calculate the weight of data points.

The Arguments section contains data items providing scatter chart arguments that are used to create data points.

Note

The Scatter Chart dashboard item allows you to manage the coloring of their points corresponding to argument values. To learn more, see Coloring.

The Scatter Chart dashboard item provides the capability to transpose their axes. In this case, the data item contained in the X-Axis section is moved to the Y-Axis section, and vice versa.

To transpose the selected Scatter Chart dashboard item, use the Transpose button in the Home ribbon tab.
