Target group: **Editors**

This extension will support editors & authors by providing

- ability to manage datasets consisting of data and labels
- fluid based content elements to display different chart types like bar, line, pie and etc.

   The usage of generating chart data can be improved by `Spreadsheet extension <http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/spreadsheets/>`_.
   So don't hesitate to check out that extension too 😁

Chart Dataset
=============

Before creating a chart content element you need to create a dataset that can be used by chart libraries.
Go to list view and create a new chart data record. On default labels, data and data labels are configured with TYPO3's table wizard.

The following example screenshot shows you how to create such a dataset when your TYPO3 installation also provides the `spreadsheet extension <http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/spreadsheets/>`_.
