Set data to be output to a chart (when creating dynamic chart)
Use the Chart execution settings dialog to configure data output settings.
When a chart has just been created, it is drawn based on the sample data. To generate a chart dynamically by referencing the field data and static text in an XML form file, associate the chart with the referenced data in Reference data settings. You can also create a chart in a record.
This section describes the procedure for setting the data to be output to the chart when creating a dynamic chart.
