| # Chart Manager (ttchm1000m000) Use this session to maintain chart settings. Charts that are linked to a Tools application, are represented in the Chart Manager (ttchm1000m000) session. The Chart Manager is a tool which presents Tools application data graphically by means of graphs and pie charts. A graph is a graphical representation of data in a coordinate system. A pie is a circular diagram that is divided into segments which show quantitative relationships. The Chart Manager supports different types of graphs, such as lines, bars, symbols, and so on. An almost unlimited number of variants can be designed for each type. Note You can send Tools data to the Chart Manager in three different ways: You can use the Query Data (ttadv3580m000) session to select specific data for a chart. You can use the EIS module to retrieve performance and quality data. You can use a chart session, defined in the Chart Manager Application Data (ttchm1500m000) session. You can also send data from the Chart Manager back to the Tools database by using a script. User authorizations for the Chart Manager are set in the Chart Manager Application Data (ttchm1500m000) session. Description of the window and menu layout The window can be resized with the mouse.
