Section overview:
Every report has View Options to allow for configuration and customization. These options vary by report type and whether Group By fields have been added.
You can find a report’s View Options just above the Results section.
The View Options types can be easily changed by clicking on each tab (Line Chart, Bar Chart, Stacked Bar Chart, etc). In addition, the options underneath each View Options tab are unique to the type selected and may change.
Selecting each tab changes the report visualization. The options underneath each tab change as well. For example: the Line Chart option shows the “Count As” drop down and the Stacked Bar Chart option shows “Count As”, “Y Axis”, and “Group Labels” drop downs.
Line charts make clean, basic reports. They do not stack, which means trends on individual components can be seen more clearly.
This is a Count over Time report showing the number of internal applicants and referrals in the last 3 months.
You have the option to view the report results as a rate or a running total when you click the drop down for “Count As.”

Line Chart results counted as a running total.
Bar charts allow you to easily compare different categories of data. This View Option does not stack.
