Auto Scale in Number
Specifies whether to automatically scale the static data labels that are of the Number data type when the label values fall into the two ranges:
- When 1000 <= value < 10^15, the following quantity unit symbols of the International System of Units are used to scale the values: K (10^3), M (10^6), G (10^9), and T (10^12).
- When 0 < value < 0.001 or value >= 10^15, scientific notation is used to scale the values.
By default it is set to auto which means that the setting follows that of the chart platform.
Show Truncated Label
Select this option to truncate labels that would go beyond the boundaries on a pie chart paper instead of them being hidden altogether - the default behavior. Logi Report displays an ellipsis (…) from the right side of the label, along with part of the name instead of the entire name, when you select this option. The truncated labels are also affected if you select the Position option of Best Fit (as seen above); where the label is cut off from the left or the right depending on the position of the label.
