Figure 7-34.
Adding a chart using the Chart action
The user doesn't have the full functionality of APEX charts within the Chart action, but the ease of displaying
these most common chart types is quite valuable.
Grouping
The Group By action allows the user to define groups and aggregate functions on those groups, thus letting the user
declaratively define their own summary views of the report data. A sample result of using the Group By action is
shown in Figure
7-35
.
