This footer will variable should be used based on a numeric field (e.g. ''areaSize'') and should have the '''Reset type''' set to display '''Group''' and the total for group selected set to the field you wish to create the chart from'' (e.g. ''status'').#Select the '''Chart''' option from the '''Palette''' pane and drag it to the '''Summary Band''' of the report template to start the group that will subsequently be used in '''Chart Wizard'''.#Select one of the pie bar chartoptions.

The expression should be modified to include the results by bolded text below. You should replace the priority, field the name of the band would be field that you selected above.#: '''priorityFooter$F{status} == null ?

In the example shown below, the x-axis reflects the land priorities (e.g., Low, Medium, or High). In addition to displaying the priority, the bars of the chart use a different colour to reflect those land which block water access (red) vs. those that do not block the water (blue). #:[[Image:iRep31.png|center|500px|''Figure 31.
