page layout or additional page layout. The component displays report data in a chart, such as a bar graph or pie graph.
You populate charts with data collected from reports. You can filter and group the report data used in charts. You can also customize the appearance of charts.
Chart components display a single layer of data. To show another layer of data granularity, you can link data in a chart to a drilldown chart. To show the referenced records or tasks, you can link data in a chart to an interface in
