Providing Data

The only difference is in the data sections that the required dashboard item has. This topic describes how to bind a Scatter Chart dashboard item to data in the Designer.

Binding to Data in the Designer

The image below shows a sample Scatter Chart dashboard item that is bound to data.

To bind the Scatter Chart dashboard item to data, drag and drop a data source field to a placeholder contained in one of the available data sections. A table below lists and describes Scatter Chart data sections.

Section	Description
X-Axis	Contains the data item against which the X-coordinates of data points are calculated.
Y-Axis	Contains the data item against which the Y-coordinates of data points are calculated.
Weight	Contains the data item whose values are used to calculate the weight of data points.
Arguments	Contains data items providing scatter chart arguments that are used to create data points.

Transposing X- and Y-axis

The Scatter Chart dashboard item provides the capability to transpose its axes. In this case, the data item contained in the X-Axis section is moved to the Y-Axis section, and vice versa.

To transpose the selected Scatter Chart dashboard item, use the Transpose button in the Home ribbon tab.
