Format Donut dialog

Donut Hole
Specifies the percentage the hole's thickness will take from the total radius of the pie circle.

Static Data Label

Specifies the properties of the static data labels on the donuts.

Show Static Data Label

Position
Specifies the position of the static data labels on the donuts.

  If selected, the static data labels will be displayed automatically.

  If selected, the static data labels will be displayed beside the donut sections.
- Slim Leg

Auto Scale in Number
Specifies whether to automatically scale the values that are of the Number data type when the values fall into the two ranges:
- When 1000 <= value < 10^15, Logi Report uses the following quantity unit symbols of the International System of Units 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, Logi Report uses scientific notation to scale the values.
The value auto means the setting follows that of the chart.
Show Truncated Label
Select this option to truncate labels that would go beyond the boundaries on a donut 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.

KPI Value

Specifies the properties for the KPI values of the donuts.

Show KPI Value
Specifies whether to show KPI value for each donut.
- KPI Value
  Specifies the KPI value to display on each donut. By default, the total value of each donut will be used as the KPI value. If you want to customize the value, clear Auto and type a value in the text box, or select and select a formula or summary from the drop-down list to use its value as the KPI value.
- Position
  Specifies the position of the KPI value at the center, top, bottom of each donut or customized which enables setting the X and Y properties to change the position.

- When 1000 <= value < 10^15, Logi Report uses the following quantity unit symbols of the International System of Units 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, Logi Report uses scientific notation to scale the values.
The value auto means the setting follows that of the chart.
