SQL Chart equips you with another medium of reporting by using charts. You are given the flexibility of defining your own SQL query to determine the charts that you would like to generate, ranging from a number of graph types.
Figure 1: SQL Chart Properties
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Custom ID | Item link slug. Optional field. Unique field Value defined here must be unique to the rest of the Userview Menus as the first matching name will be called upon. |
| Label | Menu label. Mandatory field. |
| Chart Type |
|
| Chart Title | Chart Title to be displayed part of the generated graph. |
Figure 2: SQL Chart Properties - Chart Options
| Name | Description |

X-axis display as |
|
Y-axis Label | Y-axis Label |
Y-axis Prefix | Y-axis Prefix |
Show Legend? | If checked, legend will be shown in the generated graph. |
Show Value Label in Chart? | If checked, value label will be shown in the generated graph. |
| Width | Width in character. Example 100% |
| Height | Height in character. Example 300px |
| Colors | Series color. Optional field. Comma separated values (CSV) of color codes. Example: Example #3333FF,#66FF00,#FF9933,#990000

| Name | Description |
|---|---|
SQL Query | SQL Query to produce the dataset required for the graph type. The first column in the dataset will be assumed for X-axis/label. Example 1: Example SELECT c_status as 'status', COUNT(c_status) as 'count' FROM app_fd_tix_tickets WHERE c_status IS NOT NULL GROUP BY c_status
Example 2: SQL select c.c_claimant, sum( cast( replace(c.c_total,'$', '') as decimal(10,2)) ) as 'total', avg( cast( replace(c.c_total,'$', '') as decimal(10,2)) ) as 'avg' from app_fd_hr_expense_claim c group by c.c_claimant

| Datasource |
If the default datasource is selected, the custom JDBC settings below will be ignored. |
Userview Key Name | When defined, additional condition will be appended using the value defined here as the parameter and the userview key value as the value. Example SQL: SELECT category, count(category) FROM table1 Userview Key Name: type Userview Key Value: val Resultant SQL: SELECT category, count(category) FROM table1 WHERE type = 'val' When userview key value is defined, you may define #userviewKey# in your SQL query to have it replaced with the userview key value. Example SQL: SELECT category, count(category) FROM table1 WHERE type = '#userviewKey#' Userview Key Value: val Resultant SQL: SELECT category, count(category) FROM table1 WHERE type = 'val' |
Interactive Chart
The following code can be modified and put in "Custom Footer" for interactive Chart.
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#jq_plot_chart').bind('jqplotDataClick',
function (event, seriesIndex, pointIndex, data) {
console.log(event);
console.log(seriesIndex);
console.log(pointIndex);
console.log(data);
//for chart which used legend and x-axis,
var xaxis = $(".jqplot-xaxis-tick:eq("+pointIndex+")");
var series = $(".jqplot-table-legend-label:eq("+seriesIndex+")");
console.log("x-axis :" + xaxis.text());
console.log("series :" + series.text());
}
);
//for double click event. Please note the arguments are different.
$('#jq_plot_chart').bind('jqplotDblClick',
function (event, coordinate, points, data) {
console.log(event);
console.log(coordinate);
console.log(points);
console.log(data);
if (data) {
var xaxis = $(".jqplot-xaxis-tick:eq("+data.pointIndex+")");
var series = $(".jqplot-table-legend-label:eq("+data.seriesIndex+")");
console.log("values :" + data.data);
console.log("x-axis :" + xaxis.text());
console.log("series :" + series.text());
}
}
);
});
</script>
This code does not work with OHLC and candlestick chart.
