  • Data Source Type: Select the data source of the chart. Multiple data sources are provided for you to select. You need to add data sources first. For details, see Data Connection Overview.
  • Converter: Select a converter to convert data into the data that meets the display requirements. For details, see Using a Converter.
  • Data Mapping: The data format consists of the following fields:
    • x: category, corresponding to the X axis. The data type of this field must be the same as that of the X Axis.
    • y: data, corresponding to the Y axis.
    • s: series. You can set a value of the s field to a series. You can add multiple series. The value of each series can be mapped to different Y coordinates.

      Click on the right of s to add a series. To delete an added series, click on the right of the series.

      Add a series as follows:

      • Series Value: Enter a value of the s field. If the series value is empty, the value of the corresponding s field is used by default.
