i’m finally getting to playing around with the farm reports feature, and am trying to generate nice graphs that are easy to understand. i seem to be having a small ui issue though – when i create a graph as a line graph, i just get big points, no actual lines. i can’t see any way to change this. am i doing something wrong or is this by design?
Hello Tetujin,
In a quick test, I did show bars on the report I generated. Could you outline the steps you are taking so I can try to reproduce here? Thanks!
hey dwight,
i’m doing the following on a windows 8.1 box with the deadline 6.2 client installed.
view > farm status reports
click “new”
report name: foo
type: repository stats
click “OK”
click “add graph”
set “graph type” to “line graph”
x column: any, but i picked “entry time” for this test
y column: any, but i picked “cpu utilization” for this test
click “ok”
see new graph, looks like green dots with white circles around them (see attached)
i tried this a few times with as many permutations as i could think of that would get me lines instead of dots, but i can’t. and as you can see from cpu.png, the scattered dots aren’t super helpful 
let me know if i can give you any more information! thanks.

Hey Tony,
I’ve looked at our code internally, and there seems to be an issue where Line Graphs are actually being created as Scatter Plots (and ironically, the Scatter Plots entry doesn’t work properly). I’ve logged this as a bug so that we can fix this in future versions.
Unfortunately, until we fix the bug there is no way to use an actual Line Graph in the custom reports.
Cheers,
Jon
i was wondering why the scatter plots didn’t seem to be working. thanks for the confirmation on the bug! i’ll look forward to the next release.
