Trends chart configuration in Budgeting Dashboard

This page defines fields in the Trends chart configuration section. In Trends configuration, you choose a KBI, budget line, or formula. 

Note: You cannot "mix-and-match"—that is, you cannot select to add a KBI plus a budget line. You can only build formulas with the field values, such as KBIs with KBIs or budget lines with budget lines.
