Report Template Icons
Icons are used to represent report template types. You can quickly determine if a report will be produced as a dashboard, table, pie chart, donut chart, line chart or bar chart by the icons and roll-over help. These icons may display stamps to convey additional information. For example, shortcuts can be distinguished from the original file by the arrow that appears on the icon. This allows you to quickly scan lists of reports and make business decisions based on visual indicators.

Tabular Chart - Displays data in rows and columns, with highlighted links that enable drill down access to additional details.
Dashboard - Provides an at-a-glance overview by displaying many reports on a single page. This consolidated view can contain bar charts, pie charts and tabular reports.
Pie Chart - Provides a visual representation of data in a circle divided into sectors which is proportional to the quantity it represents. Mouse-over sectors for details and drill down access.
Donut Chart - Provides a visual representation of data in a circle divided into sectors which is proportional to the quantity it represents. Mouse-over sectors for details and drill down access.
Bar Chart - Displays colored bar graphs to enable at-a-glance analysis. Multi-colored bars can be interpreted by using data displayed as you move your mouse over. This icon applies to all available bar charts such as stacked, horizontal and so on.
Gauge Chart - This is a single value axis chart. Gauge charts have no x-axis. Normally, this displays a maximum value with a series of data point values across the gauge. Color can be set to indicate different sectors.
Line Chart - Represented by a series of data points connected with a straight line. Line charts are most often used to visualize data that changes over time.
Area Chart - Depicts a time-series relationship. Unlike line charts, they can also visually represent volume. Information is graphed on two axes, using data points connected by line segments.
Shortcut Badge - Displays an arrow as a badge on the report rendering type icon. A shortcut is a link to a report or a template in a different folder.
Template Badge - Displays a T as a badge on the report icon. Reports and report templates function differently. This badge identifies a template.
Cloud Badge - Displays a cloud as a badge on the template icon. This badge identifies that the report originated from and is linked to the Cloud section.
