Creating New Charts

New charts in a project either share the same hierarchy as the original chart or have a different hierarchy.

To create a new chart in a project:

1        Select Chart from the Insert menu, or right-click the chart's tab and select New Chart from the context menu.

The New Chart dialog box is displayed.

2        Define how you want the new chart to be created:

Reporting: Indicate whether to keep the hierarchy synchronized with the current chart or whether to create a new hierarchy:

·         Share and maintain the project’s hierarchy across all charts: Copies the existing chart to a new chart. Changes to the hierarchy of the new chart are synchronized with the original chart.

·         Do not share, maintain unique hierarchy in this chart: Select from the following options:

Empty Chart: Creates an empty chart with a new hierarchy.

Entire Chart: Copies the existing chart to a new chart. Changes to the hierarchy of the new chart are NOT synchronized with the original chart.

Reconnect all sub-charts: Remove all sub-chart breaks from the new chart.

3        Click OK. The new chart is created and a new chart tab is added at the bottom of the main window. 0
