The following manual is intended to show an example on how you can develop a basic chart type under tabular reports, tilt and pivot.
It is important to note that reports pivot, the graphics alone can be developed print mode and not in the visual report, this is because the graphics in this report are dynamic and are generated by selecting only the variables shown.
This document also describes tools to create a Dashboard.
This manual does not seek to replace any training course on reports and graphs; the intention is to help the user remember or the basic steps for generating graphics.
The Graphics and Dashboards Creation document contains the following components:
Summary
The Summary section contains the following components:
To create a new chart select chart from the main menu:
In the Report Builder, click the Chart drop-down menu and select Add Chart.

Finally, press the Finish button at the bottom of the Chart Wizard.
The graphs reports PIVOT type must be created in this way.
To create a report from the print design, it is important to follow the next steps:
From the MT Report Builder menu, select the Report option and any of the two following options, depending on the case:
Create Default - To create a new print design starting from scratch
Modify Existing - To use an existing design
This option automatically generates the "Chart Wizard”, after which we can follow the same steps mentioned at the beginning of this document (Creating graphics from the report).
If there is already a chart created in the report and we want it to be displayed in the print layout (output), then we must complete the following steps.
Modify Existing - To use and existing design print previously created.
In
the Report Dashboards section, click the 
button.
Fill out the following fields: Dashboard Name and Dashboard Description. The yellow fields are mandatory, the option auto Refresh Frequency could be filled with the amount, in order to refresh automatically. *Note: The option Auto Refresh Frequency does not apply to reports in their search filter ranges have specific dates.
To create the Dashboard, you need a report from either creating it from scratch or based on an existing one.
To use an existing report, take in consideration that changes made from within the Dashboard development, will not be reflected in the original report. This generates a new Report.
Once the report has been selected, is possible to add to the Dashboard: Graphics, Gauges, Grid, Filter (Additional filter to the main report).
To mobilize each of these elements within the design panel Dashboard, click the right mouse button to find the option to customize.
In the Hidden Items tab, all objects that are deleted from the Dashboard will be added, while in the Layout Tree View, you can find all objects that are used within the Dashboard, allowing rearranging as required.
The graphics, gauge, grid and filters can be added within boxes, groups and tabs on the Dashboard. The first step is to add an Empty Space Item. Once this is done, and being in the design option, the selected object will appear within that space.
By right-clicking on an Empty Space Item, this will allow you to make it a group or a series of Tabs.
Having selected the object used in the Layout Tree View, you can customize all the properties requiring that object (size, font, color, etc.)
Graphs can be created from scratch, or, if part of a report has been graphed and designed, these may be used and are available on the right side of the Designer.
Like graphics, this can be created from scratch or starting from a Gauge associated with the report being used.
Here are some of the meters that can be used: Speedometer, tachometer or tachometers, digits, among others. Each of them can be fully customized, including alerts, colors, ranges, number of digits to show sizes, etc.
It is essential, once the Gauge is selected, and before saving changes, to right-click on the gauge (Gauge) added and as expected, add the information that applies.
Each Gauge has the option to customize the design (colors, ranges, sizes, add or decrease number of digits, create or delete scales, etc.) To access, right click on the Gauge and select `Gauge Designer`.
On the right side of the Dashboard Designer, all associated with the report layout being used will be found.
The Filter option allows adding additional filters to be added the main report. This prevails those of the report in the Dashboard.
The following are examples of already developed Dashboards:
