Time-Based Area Charts
Choose the time-based area chart type from the chart selection list. Complete the remainder of the form as follows:

- From the field you select, you can choose one, multiple or all the values within the field
- Select the Start and End dates. Note you can choose $$SYSDAY$$ to represent the current day, and you can perform simple arithmetic on the date. For example, $$SYSDAY$$ - 30 represents 30 days ago
- Choose the increment for the X axis, from days, weeks months and years
- Cumulative results include every item that matched criteria during the time period you selected. If this box is not checked then only the items that first transitioned to match criteria in the given time period are used to calculate the values displayed on the chart.
