Data Binder

When Datasource is set to "Using Data Binder", this option will show up. Advance Form Data Binder has more flexible ways to build chart datasets using join, group, and aggregate function. Please see Datalist Binder for the available binder to use.

SQL Query

When Datasource is set to use any of the "Datasource", this option will show up. You use an SQL Query to produce the dataset required for the graph type. The first column in the dataset will be assumed for the X-axis/label.

Example 1:The first column to be returned from the query must be a label (X-axis), followed by value columns for the Y-axis.
