Creating Custom Report Charts in Lyris ListManager™
Lyris ListManager™ offers a wide variety of charts to choose from. However, if there is a particular chart that you would like to view that is not included as a default chart, you may create the chart you need in Reports-Custom Charts.
Custom charts allow you to:
- Select the type of chart you want – pie chart, bar chart, line chart, high/low, etc.
- Select the metrics you’d like to combine – opens as compared to purchases over time.
- Specify the start and stop date for each metric and for the chart as a whole.
- Specify how you’d like to group data—by time interval or by percentage of the data.
- Determine chart labels and background color.
Custom charts are displayed in the Reports: All Reports: Custom Charts
