Infusion Dashboard Charts

Version 8.400 sees the release of a range Charts, Graphs and Gauges for users of Infusion. Access to each Chart is controlled under the Staff members’ account.

To set this up select the Charts tab under the Staff Member within Staff\Manage Staff.

This will display a range of available charts. To enable a Staff member to have access check the box next to the chart name.

From the bottom of the screen you may also select Check All or Un Check All

Each Staff member will by default be a standard user which will allow them to create charts and change the chart type.

A Staff member may be given advanced options by checking the box. This will give them the ability to print and export the chart, reformat, and redesign the chart.

Once the Staff member has been given access to the charts they will now be available under the File \ Dashboard menu.

Once these settings have been made you will need to have the Staff member log off and back into Infusion.
