Charts

To view business data graphically, you can create generic charts and then add them to Role Centers and FactBoxes with the Customize feature. You can also view data in list places as charts by choosing Show as Chart. For more information, see How to: Add Charts to Role Centers and List Pages.

Generic charts can be customized to visualize data in many combinations by defining data and chart measures in the Generic Chart Setup window. For more information, see How to: Create Generic Charts.

In addition to generic charts, Microsoft Dynamics NAV offers a series of specific charts that you cannot create from scratch in the user interface, but that you can edit in multiple ways.

For some specific charts, such as the Finance Performance chart, you can edit existing charts or set up new variations by combining account schedule columns and rows in multiple ways and display them in different chart types to provide a large number of different financial performance indicators. For more information, see How to: Edit Specific Charts.
