The undo redo function, which is operated with the two arrows, is located in the main menu on the upper left.

You can save projects to the server by clicking on the button “Project is not saved”, which is located in the middle of the menu list. Another option is the main menu at the top left: Project – Save.

For the setting “Public with login” you have to be with other users in a common user group. The user groups with their respective members and authorizations are created by the administrator in the admin interface.

A normal stack chart shows the summation of different values in data series.
A 100% stack chart shows the percentage distribution of different rows and the sum is 100%.

Click once on the corresponding data point.

Double-click or click the right mouse button on any data point of the category to be selected.

Click with the right mouse button on any data point of the category to be selected.

Table columns as well as variance charts are sub charts and can be moved in the structure view using drag & drop. For a better overview it is recommended to move the sub charts in the collapsed state.

Select the series to be moved in the structure view and drag and drop it to the desired position.

These settings are specified by the selected stylesheet. Changes to the stylesheet can only be made by an administrator.

1. Switch the Dynamic switch to ON before inserting a chart
2. Check the chart property „Multipliers“

The multiplier is set for the entire chart in Settings – Data. This sets how objects such as sub charts, data series, or charts (in a future version) are multiplied by the elements of a given dimension.

These labels are on a fixed position on the page. In order to allow a distance between the title and charts or tables, you can adjust the margins and paddings under Chart – Settings – Position.

The report page is designed in a way that the displayed objects optimally use the available space. Thus, different value measures are displayed with the same size. To display two or more objects in the same scale, they must be assigned to the same scaling group. The settings are made for the chart in Settings – General.

No. In production, hi-chart is installed on a server of your company.
This keeps all data in the company and the generated reports are accessible from the intranet.
External access, for example, for mobile reporting are possible without problems, but must be enabled by your IT.

By default, the scenario dimension (PY, AC, PL, FC) is not visible. Changes are possible in the pivotizer editing dialog of the respective data source. All dimensions in the data source are listed here and can be edited after clicking on the icon.

Check whether there is an Internet connection because Excel files must be uploaded to the server. CSV files are stored locally in the hi-chart project.

In the second dialog when creating a data source, it is important to select whether the source is a pivot table with dimensions in rows and columns, or a fact table that has only column dimensions.

Not all Excel formulas are understood by the Chart-me formula interpreter. Try to enter a fixed value in Excel instead of the formula at the same point.

It is possible that a filter is set in this data source and prevents the display of certain data records. Global filter settings are kept when the project is closed.

It is possible that a filter is set in this data source and prevents the display of certain data records. The user filter has a subordinate dependency on the filter of the data source.

The comments that are kept when you filter the appropriate dimension on the report page have been added as non-object comments. Positioning on the object can be set in the comments settings in the Data section later, or the comment reference (number in the circle) is moved over a data point.

With hi-chart we work in the web browser. Here you cannot open a file, leave it open and then save it. In a browser you can upload a file to open and download to save. For security reasons, a browser has very limited access to the file system. Saving files is only intended to transfer projects to another server or to another platform, e.g. into SAP Design Studio.

This is the standard for normal work. The project is stored in the hi-chart database and reopened from there.

A project always has a unique project id that is not visible in the user interface. If you want to rename a project, you change the name in the user interface. A new project id is generated with a “Save as a copy” (in file or on the server). This has the same meaning as “Save as” for desktop application. The server then creates a copy of the project. Saving to a file “as a copy “means that reopening and then saving it on the server would not overwrite the source project (with a different id) on the server. In other words, a project stored on the server and stored as a file (not as a copy) retains its project id. If you open this file and save it on the server, the project on the server will be overwritten.
