Scatter Plot Widget

Introduced in Enterprise 7, the Scatter Plot widget plots two different chemicals or parameters on the X- and Y-axis to demonstrate correlations. The input data needed to produce the chart is a set of value pairs saved in a user report.

 

Ent-Scatter_Plot_Widget-Example

 

The report for the widget can be created as follows:

1.Select a base report (e.g., Analytical Result II that only includes two analytes, such as benzene and acetone). Save this as a user report.

2.Create a crosstab from this report and publish it to the database. Select to Publish as grid report when publishing the Report to the database. The criteria for matching the pair of constituents is determined by how the row header(s) section is populated in the crosstab.

The following is an example of the crosstab layout:

3.In the widget properties, choose the crosstab as the report.

4.Within the Report Parameter Editor select the user report (if you have saved the crosstab to prompt for user report). You may also choose to publish the crosstab for 'show all input parameters'.

5.Save As.
