Hi all
I am only just using charts for the first time and loving them. However, I have a couple of question..
1)Can the search box be brought onto the chart page like with normal list pages - this could be really useful?
2)On the advanced search is there any way to make field a drop down box? With a normal list page you can define this in the editor but can not do this with charts.
Many thanks for all the support

Hi,
please see my answers below:

  1. unfortunately there is no easy way to add simple search to the chart page.

    As workaround you can create dropdown with pre-defined values using custom event. Here is a sample:

  2. to open "Edit as" settings dialog switch to advanced search page on the Visual Editor tab and double click on the field.
