    1. Choose any of the 11 supported chart types to represent your data.
    2. Use the new Chart Settings Pane to set the chart’s data source and dimensions (Category Axis, Legend, Values Axis)
    3. Use the new Chart Settings Pane to format the chart’s data series.
  2. Easily edit the chart and data series properties:
    1. Use the familiar Property Sheet to edit chart properties.
    2. Use the new Chart Settings Pane to edit the chart’s data series.
  3. Preview live data as you design charts on your form/report
