Create a Personal Chart Template

You can edit a chart template in order to create a personal chart. Charts displayed on the My Dashboard window can be edited directly from the dashboard. Other chart templates are accessed from the Templates tab. Default chart templates cannot be modified. To save changes you must use the Save As option.

Editing a chart template is similar to editing templates for all reports, with a few minor differences:

• The Activity Dates filter has an additional Display Units control.
• When you save a modified Personal chart template that is currently displayed on the Dashboard, the new chart template will replace the dashboard template. Selecting Save As does not replace the current chart. If you modify a chart from the templates tab that is not currently displayed on the dashboard, you must manually add this chart to the dashboard, if desired.
