Focused view (when you select and focus on items in a dimension) - Period, Moving and Total mode only.
A Pie chart displays the percentage share of a number of variables, such as the results for different branches within a company or sales to different customers. You do not need to display your data as a percentage in the grid first, as Phocas automatically calculates the percentages when you create the Pie chart. The size of each segment is proportionate to the percentage value.
The following table describes what the Pie chart looks like in each view.
