New & Noteworthy for Jazz Reporting Service 6.0.6 M3


Description
Report Builder Multiple Y axes within a chart for easier viewing

When viewing bar or line graphs that have very different value ranges, the graph with the smaller value range is drawn like a straight line closest to the X axis. Sometimes it can be hard to see the trend and variation of the line graph.

To enhance the visualization in these cases, you can now use a second Y axis with a different scale for most of the existing charts (except the pie chart). Try the second Y axis to magnify the graph items with the smaller value range. Alternatively, you can move the group of graphs with the larger value range to the second Y scale and leave the graphs with the smaller value range using the standard Y axis.

When the chart orientation is vertical, the second Y axis is located on the right side of the chart.
When the chart orientation is horizontal, the second Y axis is located at the top.

The graph items that use the second Y axis are shown with a different color in the legend, in the value string of the tooltip of the bar and line graph, and the bar label in the bar chart.
