Easiest Way to Chart Data in
SharePoint
Just open the On-Board Designer,
point to a data source, select
your data, configure the view
and you are done. Gone is the
need for Excel, SharePoint
Designer, and difficult code.
You don't even need to use the
page's edit mode. We challenge
you to find an easier way to
display charts.
-
Instantly Connect to Virtually Any
Data Source
Use the On-Board Designer to
point to SharePoint lists (even
on other sites), SQL Server,
Oracle, and Excel (you don't
need MOSS) and select the data
you want to chart. You don't
need SharePoint's BDC, there is
no code required, and you don't
have to use Excel as a data
viewer.
-
Aggregate and Summarize Data
Performs calculations such as
average, sum, and count on your
data to show useful summary
charts. You don’t need to set up
calculations in the source data,
just chose the column you would
like to group by then select the
appropriate calculation. For
example, show a summary of
territory sales by grouping
individual sales people’s
numbers by their associated
territory.

All The Chart Types You Need
With 30 chart types, such as
bar, column, area, scatter, line,

chart to use.

graphic designer a lot of time.

Connect Web Parts for Rich
Interaction
Connect ComponentOne WebParts to
one another or SharePoint Web
Parts to your ComponentOne Web
Parts. This level of
interactivity will ensure that
you are always showing
meaningful data.
-
Coding Optional
The On-Board Designers make
creating and configuring
ComponentOne Web Parts a simple
matter of pointing-and-clicking.
But, if you need to go beyond
the designer options, feel free
to use code to customize the Web
Parts even further. Ease of use
and extensibility go very well
together.
-
Real ROI
In just a few minutes, insert
the ComponentOne Chart Web Part
onto your page, connect it to
your data, and configure your
view. Changing the view is just
as easy. In a few minutes you
get a chart that would normally
take developers weeks to code (or
require MOSS and Excel). The
Chart will pay for itself the
first time you use it on a
typical project.
How We Make the SharePoint Experience
Better
SharePoint does not provide tools for
creating charts. If you want to create
charts out of the box, you have two options:
(1) create the charts in Excel and use Excel
Web Services to display them or (2) code a
chart in SharePoint Designer or Visual
Studio. Either way, the process is time
consuming and must be repeated any time a
chart needs to be updated. When you need to
connect to outside data sources, such as SQL
Server and Oracle, the complexity is
multiplied. The ComponentOne Chart for
SharePoint eliminates your pain by giving
you point-and-click chart creation right out
of the box, without the need for a developer
or artist.
| Point-and-click
configuration, connection, and
design through the On-Board
Designer. |
Connection and
configuration can require code,
complicated tools, and time
consuming processes. |
| Connect
directly to any data source (lists,
SQL Server, Oracle, Excel). |
Need to set up
connections through Excel,
SharePoint Designer, or BDC. |
| Create and
change the chart on the SharePoint
page. |
Need to change
the chart in Excel or in code,
depending on how the chart was
originally created. |
| Choose from a
collection of themes and palettes to
apply professional polish. |
Visual design
needs to be performed manually in
the tool originally used to create
the chart. |
| Allow end-users
to create their own charts. |
Not possible.
Typically, users need to request
charts. |
