This topic describes how to bind a Pie dashboard item to data in the Dashboard Designer.

The Dashboard Designer allows you to bind various dashboard items to data in a virtually uniform manner (see Binding Dashboard Items to Data for details).

The only difference is in the data sections that these dashboard items have.

1. Values

   The Values section contains data items that define the share of pie segments.

   

   You can add several data items to this section and use the Values drop-down menu to switch between them in the dashboard item. To invoke the Values menu, click the icon in the dashboard item caption.

   

   Note
   This drop-down menu is available if the Arguments and Series sections are not empty. Otherwise, data items in the Values section are used to label pies or pie segments.

2. Arguments

   The Arguments section contains data items that provide values used to label pie segments.

   

3. Series

   The Series section contains data items whose values are used to label pie charts.
