Chart components are created using a variation on the steps described in Creating components.
To create a chart component:
1 Before creating a component, ensure that a dataset has been created by the System Designer or Administrator and published to you.
2 Create a new component which will open the Component Builder.
3 Select a dataset which will form the source data the component is based on.
4 Select the component type. For all components the default is Chart so this step can be skipped.
5 Select dataset columns for the component. Drag-and-drop the dataset columns to the chart area. A Chart component consists of one blue attribute column that maps to the X-Axis on the chart, one or more red measure columns (Y-Series) and up to one green pivot column (Y-Series).
Note: Selecting a different attribute overwrites the previous one.
6 Add filters 
to the component to limit the specific data shown on the chart.
7 It is also possible to Define chart display options.
8 Component backgrounds (Light/Dark) can not be set for individual components. The component background colour is set when creating a new dashboard or editing a dashboard and will appy to all components on a dashboard.
9 Resize a component to best display the information. This can be resized on a dashboard.
10 Add component drilldowns, if required.
11 Define a title for the chart component.
12 Save the chart component.
13 Publish and close the chart component to allow others to view and use the component you have just created.
