Re: iReport manual

 

Olav,

This obviously is not the right place to discuss how to make reports and
charts, but you can of course create other kinds of report tables that do
not cross tab on periods, so that a single period column(in the report
table) can appear as a series in a line chart.

We should cover in the user manual (I think all this belongs in the user
manual and not the implementation guide) what kind of report tables are
needed for the various types of charts etc.
