Chart library
The FortiManager unit provides a selection of predefined charts. New charts can be created using the custom chart wizard, by cloning and editing an existing chart, or by using the advanced chart creation option. You can select to display predefined chart, custom charts, or both.
To view a listing of the available predefined charts, see Appendix E: Charts, Datasets, & Macros.
For advanced users, right-click the right content pane and select Create New to create SQL based charts. See To create a new chart:.
Charts are predefined to show specific information in an appropriate format, such as pie charts or tables. They are organized into categories, and can be added to, removed from, and organized in reports.
To view the chart library, go to Reports > Chart Library.
