Working with Analytics graphs

You can select from a variety of graph types to display Analytics data. There are two ways to generate or create graphs from table data:

• Generate a graph from command results – The following commands in the Analyze menu, and the equivalent ACLScript commands, provide the option to output the results as a graph:

  • Age

  • Classify

  • Cross-tabulate

  • Histogram

  • Benford Analysis

  • Stratify

  Scripts that contain appropriate commands can display the results of those commands in a graph. This allows you to automate graph-based reports for analyzing data that changes over time.

  When you generate a graph from command results, you can us the Drill-down option to analyze a subset of the graphed data. When you drill down in a graph, Analytics creates a filter and displays the selected subset of records in an Analytics view.

• Generate a graph from selected data in a view – When working with an Analytics view, you can select data in the view and create a graph. The Drill-down option is not available in graphs generated from Analytics views because the subset of data is already selected in the view.
