Displying a Scroll-Bar

Top Previous Topic Next Topic  Print this topic

By default, the BI Architect does not display a scrollbar for any chart widget that is inserted. However, if you wish to have a scroll bar displayed on you chart follow these steps. NOTE: As a Pie Chart does not have axes this target object will not be available for that chart type.

 

1. Right click on the Chart that you want to open the Properties Pane for.

6. You will need to determine the height you would like to have for the scrollbar, or you can leave it as the default "Auto".

NOTE: The scrollbar will not be presented on your chart in the design surface. In order to view the scrollbar, you will need to preview your dashboard.
