Which statement is true about adding a chart to a Console Component?

• A. The report must be a Summary or Matrix.
• B. The report must be a Tabular report.
• C. The chart is added to the Page Layout.
• D. The report data cannot be shared.

Answer: (A)

When you add a chart to a Console Component, the chart is drawn from a report chart that relies on summarized data. Charts need grouped values to display categories and totals, so the underlying report must be a Summary or Matrix report to provide those groups and aggregations. A Tabular report, by contrast, lists details without any grouping, so there’s nothing to chart. The chart in this context isn’t placed on a Page Layout; it’s configured through the Console Component using a report chart. And report data sharing isn’t inherently prohibited—the data can be shared according to report and folder permissions.
