Graph

Configuration

Single Y-Axis Graphs

Purpose	To chart a single time series data value.
Example	To chart normalised energy consumption for a group of accounts cumulatively, by year for the last four years.

Settings	Description	Values
Title	Graph display title	Custom
Graph type	Determines the type of chart displayed	Single Y-Axis
Graph value type	Determines if point values are charted singly or cumulatively	Monthly Cumulative
Wrap type	Determines if values are charted continuously or wrapped buy financial year	Continuous Year wrap
Height	Determines the vertical height (in pixels) of the chart on the rendered web page	Custom
Y-Axis value type	Value to be charted	All time series data values
Y-Axis plot type	Determines the on-screen appearance of the data plot	Line Bar
Date range	Reporting time period	Date range from date picker

Note: To make a parameter available for in-session setting, check the box to the left of the setting parameter.

Double Y-Axis Graphs

Purpose	To chart two time series data values of the same or different units against each other.
Example	To chart normalised energy consumption for a single account cumulatively against cost for the last three financial years.

Settings	Description	Values
Title	Graph display title	Custom
Graph type	Determines the type of chart displayed	Double Y-Axis
Y1-Axis plot type	Determines the on-screen appearance of the plot against the 1st Y-Axis	Line Bar
Y2-Axis plot type	Determines the on-screen appearance of the plot against the 2nd Y-Axis	Line Bar
Height	Determines the vertical height (in pixels) of the chart on the rendered web page	Custom
Y1-Axis value type	Value to be charted on the 1st Y-Axis	All time series data values
Y2-Axis value type	Value to be charted on the 2nd Y-Axis	All time series data values
Date range	Reporting time period	Date range from date picker

Tip: If using a double Y-Axis graph to chart values of the same unit take care when comparing the two plots as they could have different scales depending on how each axis has been rendered.

Unit Graphs

Purpose	To chart mutiple time series data values of the same units against each other.
Example	To chart the unit cost of all energy, electricity and gas for the last two calendar years.

Settings	Description	Values
Title	Graph display title	Custom
Graph type	Determines the type of chart displayed	Unit
Units	Determines the unit type that can be displayed on the graph.	Cost ($) Commodity Group Usage Energy(kWh) Water (kL) Emissions tCO2</Sub}e unit Cost ($/Unit)
Monthly values	Values to be charted	All time series data values sharing the selected graphing unit
Height	Determines the vertical height (in pixels) of the chart on the rendered web page	Custom
Plot type	Determines the on-screen appearance of the charted values.	Line Bar
Graph value type	Determines if point values are charted singly or cumulatively	Monthly Cumulative
Date range	Reporting time period	Date range from date picker

Tip: When configuring a unit chart take care to choose values that make sense, for example accumulated unit cost has no meaning.

Pie Graphs

Purpose	To chart accumulated time series data values for a single data item by a reporting category.
Example	To chart the contribution of each business unit to total energy consumption for the last 12 months.

Settings	Description	Values
Title	Graph display title	Custom
Graph type	Determines the type of chart displayed	Pie
Threshold Percentage	Determines the threshold over which and single contributing group receives a dedicated slice.	Custom
Monthly values	Values to be charted	All time series data values sharing the selected graphing unit
Height	Determines the vertical height (in pixels) of the chart on the rendered web page	Custom
Category Type	Determines the reporting category will be used to slice up the pie.	Custom
Date range	Reporting time period	Date range from date picker

Note: When filtering down to a small number of accounts the pie chart may contain only one slice.

Usage

Graphs have no interactive usage features.
