Creating charts

Charts provide a high-level overview of your work orders. For example, you can create a chart to see the number of work orders that are in certain statuses or categories for a specific region or site. A chart is unique to each user's profile and cannot be shared between users. Asset Essentials provides you with the ability to create charts that can be viewed from your Dashboard.
