Create a Pie and Donut chart (Financial Statements)

The Pie and Donut charts display the percentage share of several variables in the shape of a pie. As their names suggest, the Pie chart is a whole circle and the Donut chart has a whole in the middle. These charts work nicely with the Levels feature, as shown in the examples below, and look great when added as widgets on a dashboard. You do not need to display your data as a percentage in the grid first, as Phocas automatically calculates the percentages when you create the charts. The size of each segment is proportionate to the percentage value.
