In the aforementioned illustration, we constructed a unique Dashboard Chart with an existing Dashboard Chart Source.

By choosing Count, Sum, Average, or Group By as the chart type, you can also create simple charts that count, sum, average, or group by to-do items based on when they were created or modified. You can also use Report as the chart type to create charts that use an existing report as a source in the Report Name field.

In the Document Type box for Count, you must choose the Doctype for which the chart is required, and in the Time Series Based On field, the Based On Date.

4. Using Dashboards

Every chart will be displayed in accordance with the fields defined in the associated Dashboard Chart. To prevent repeated searches, the outcome from the source of the dashboard chart is cached. Each chart will additionally provide the most recent sync time because the chart data may become stale.

By selecting Set Filters, you may also modify the filters that were used to produce the data for the chart. The recently set filters will immediately cause the chart to refresh.

Each chart must be forced refreshed in order to display the most recent data by selecting the Force Refresh option from the dropdown menu.
