  • Placing the cursor on the curve or bar of the chart shows the exact values of the amounts.
  • Clicking on a point in the chart opens the corresponding account tab at the corresponding position.

Control Panel

Using the right-hand panel it is possible to select the values and period to be displayed, the mode, as well as to print or save the chart.

If the size of the window does not allow all the controls to be displayed, only the controls concerning the legend will be displayed. To display all controls, either the main application window or the bottom window must be enlarged.

Time Values

The following accounting values can be displayed individually or simultaneously in the charts:

  • Current - represents actual values.
  • Budget - represents the budget values.
  • Previous - represents the previous year's values.

By clicking on the name (Current, Budget or Previous) with the mouse, the respective values are displayed or hidden.
