Adding Tables and Graphs to a Feedback Report

Before tables or graphs can be added to your feedback reports, a RizePoint engineer must first place the appropriate query in your database. Contact your RizePoint representative for information on adding a query.

When planning a graph, please note that the maximum number of characters allowed in the row labels is 18 to 20. If you're graph contains a legend, the row label may contain up to 18 characters. If you're not using a legend, the maximum number of characters allowed in the row label is 20. The actual labels are not defined here; you will provide that information to RizePoint. This information is provided here merely to assist you in planning the graph layout.

Once the query has been added, you can create a configuration that includes colorful Microsoft® Excel tables or graphs.

1. Go to Reports > Report Setup > Create Feedback Report.
2. Create a new configuration file, or click the CONFIGURATION link to edit an existing configuration.
   
   
3. Scroll down to locate the Graph or Table definition fields. Note that these fields are only available if a required query exists. Otherwise, these fields will be dimmed and unavailable.
   
   
4. Configure the graph or table as desired. Note that colors used in graphs are selected by the system. However, you may specify the colors to use in tables.

   GRAPHS

   • Make sure the SHOW GRAPH box is checked.
     
     
   • If you want the graph to include a legend, check the LEGEND checkbox.
     
     
   • Indicate where you want the legend positioned on the graph.
   • Select the type of graph to use. (NOTE: Make sure that the data included in the
     report is suited to the particular type of graph you are using.)
   • Select to use ROWS or COLUMNS. (If the graph does not display as expected, you may need to switch from Rows to Columns, or from Columns to Rows.)
     
     
   • Enter the title that you want to appear above the graph.

   TABLES

   • Check the SHOW TABLE box.
     
     
   • Click the Color Palette icon beside each field to display a color selection window.
     
     
   • Click on a color to select it. Note that several palette types are available. You may select a different palette from the droplist.
     
     
   • Enter the title of this table.
5. Click the OK button.

When you view a report that has been assigned this configuration, the specified graphics and/or tables are included.
