The Sparkline component is a visual tool for displaying data. Unlike charts, sparklines do not contain data values, axis labels, legends, and other elements.

To add sparklines to your report, you need to:

Select the Sparkline component in the toolbox or select the Insert tab in the component group.

Place this component on the report page or data band.

Report sparklines can be of the following types:

 Line − The values of the specified data column are displayed as a line graph.

 Area − The values of the specified data column are displayed as areas.

 Column − Displays the values of the specified data column as a column chart.

 Win/Loss - The values of the specified data column are displayed as positive and negative blocks.

Sparkline components can be configured in the following ways:

Using the component editor. (Double click the current component in the report)

Using component properties. Select the component in the report and change the required values in the properties panel.

Sparkline editor

In the current component editor, components are organized visually.

The Value field specifies the data column based on which sparklines will be created.

 The current field allows you to change the data column for sparkline values.

The Type field contains controls you can use to change the type of sparkline.

The High/Low Points parameters are used to display maximum and minimum value markers on the Line or Area sparklines.

The First/Last Points parameters are used to display first and last value markers on Line or Area type sparklines.

The Color parameter is used to change the sparkline color. You can specify colors for positive and negative values for Column type and Win/Loss type sparklines.
