Visualizing multiple charts on a canvas to display in reports, dashboards, and storyboards


You can create multiple charts based on one report result set and then display charts on:

  • Reports
  • Dashboards
  • Storyboards

When editing a report, on the Design page, you can add charts and components such as images and text to a multi-chart canvas. To add a Multi-Chart Canvas to a dashboard or storyboard, use the same steps as any single chart report.
