Expressions

Expressions specified in the table are evaluated from the top to the bottom. The first expression that is evaluated as TRUE sets the bar and curve styles of a data record. For example (see the picture above), when a value in CX4STAT column equals OK then SUCC bar and curve styles are used, otherwise ERROR styles are used.
As the order of expressions is important, you can move them up and down using Move Up and Move Down buttons.
You can adjust the expressions if you click them. Once you edit an expression and click outside of it, it is immediately verified. When there is an error in the expression then it becomes red and you must fix it.
To restore any expression to its original state you just have to click it and then press Restore Default button.
You can refer Grouping table to learn names and meanings of available columns.

 

Grouping

Records shown in the barchart can be grouped. You can check none, one or more columns you want to use for grouping. If no column is selected, grouping is disabled. Each group contains fields that share the same value in columns used for grouping.
Groups graphically appear as records which can be expanded and collapsed and they have a bar rendered using =GROUP= style.

The Title format string specifies how a label of a group is created. You can specify any text and you can use also variables in $XXXX. format, where XXXX is a column name used for grouping. Such variables are substituted by real values when the barchart is rendered.
