Graphs and Charts

The Graphs and Charts window allows you to choose from several different types of graphs (charts) and the various options for displaying those graphs.

Reports window

On the left is the graph window's options bar, similar to the navigation bar in the main window of TurboLaw® Time and Billing. It allows you to choose the type of graph that will be displayed, as well as options for what data will be included in the graph.

Graph Data

These are the different data that you can display in your graph. Some of the data is in hours, other data is in dollars. To display the data in the graph, simply check the box next to the data you would like to see.

In general, you would not display dollars and hours on the same graph, however, you can use the Chart Wizard to set up separate axes for the graph and produce various graphs of your own.

Dates

This section allows you to select whether the graph should be limited to a specific period of time, or whether it should include all available data.

Graph by Client/Staff

This section allows you to select how the data will be grouped. It can be grouped by Staff Member, Client, or by date interval (monthly, quarterly, yearly).

Save to PDF

This button allows you to save the graph as shown to a PDF file.

Save as Image

This button allows you to save the graph as shown as one of several different image format files, such as BMP, JPG, or PNG.

Copy to Clipboard

This button allows you to copy an image of the graph as shown into the Windows clipboard, which you can then "paste" into another program.

Chart Wizard

This button opens the Chart Wizard window, which allows you to customize your graph in great detail.

Chart Wizard

You can choose what type of graph (chart) you want to use, as well as customize all aspects of its appearance - the title, the fonts, colors, axes, legends, and so on.
