Select From

You may choose to display information next to the barchart bars other than the field on which the barchart is based. This field is used to select the particular Activity table that contains the desired field.

Field Name

You may choose to display information next to the barchart bars other than the field on which the barchart is based. Once you have selected the appropriate Activity table in the Select from field, you may select the appropriate field from that table. This is useful when you want to display information related to the field being plotted, but not necessarily the actual data, such as a comment.

Color

Select the color of the text, if any, that appears next to the barchart bars.

Font

Select the font of the text, if any, that appears next to the barchart bars.

Formatting

Select the formatting for the numeric field data from this list. In addition to the default selection, which picks up the characteristics of the selected field, you can define data as dollars, percentages, or plain numbers, and specify whether or not to use commas (for example, 1,000). With percentages and dollars, you may opt to display decimal places.

Decimals

If a numeric field is defined as a non-currency field, you can use this option to specify that Open Plan will display 0, 1, or 2 decimal places.
