Running a Chart
 
im runchart
In the GUI, Web interface and Refreshed web interface you can run charts. You can also run charts through the dashboard.
While viewing a distribution chart, item fields chart, or item fields trend chart, you can select any chart value and drill down to see the specific items or details of an item that make up that value.
Key Considerations
• All charts are subject to visibility rules set by your administrator. Visibility rules restrict access to specific information based on project and/or item type. For more information, see the PTC RV&S Installation and Upgrading Guide, or see your administrator.
• For the best performance, avoid generating trend or item fields trend charts using short intervals over long time spans.
• Displayed date fields do not change based on the time zone a user operates in; however, displayed date/time fields and time entries vary based on the time zone a user operates in.
The following table describes how to run a chart:
Interface
Procedure
GUI

• Select File > Run > Chart, and then specify a selection.

Web interface
From Charts View, select a dashboard, and then Run Chart.
Refreshed Web Interface
From Charts page, click a Chart that you want to run.
Hyperlink
Using a hyperlink, specify the following for old web UI:
http://hostname:port/im/runchart?selection=chartname
Specify the following for refreshed web UI:
http://hostname:port/extended-web-ui/charts/run?selection=chartname
where:
• hostname is the hostname of the PTC RV&S server hosting the chart.
• port is the port number of the of the PTC RV&S server hosting the chart.
• chartname is the name of the chart.
To prevent PTC RV&S users from exceeding the number of open sessions permitted when running many charts, append the URL with:
&mks.disconnect=true
thereby ensuring the session is closed once PTC RV&S completes the chart output to the user.
For example:
http://localhost:7001/im/runchart?selection=AllTestSessions&mks.disconnect=true
http://localhost:7001/extended-web-ui/charts/run?selection=AllTestSessions=true
