Configure a basic SA_PieChart symbol using InTouch tags

The basic configuration of the SA_PieChart symbol shows five segments or slices with a chart heading and a legend. Each slice is assigned a measured value. The size of each slice graphically represents the percentage of the measured value to the whole.

To configure a basic symbol, you need to assign InTouch tags to the PieXX custom properties. For the sake of simplicity, this example uses only two variables to show the basic configuration steps.

Optional strings can be assigned to the symbol's chart heading, short description, and legend descriptions using the Substitute Strings feature.

Prerequisites

Create or use two existing Real InTouch tags as the reference values to be assigned to the PieXX custom properties.
