Chart Builder

The Chart Builder can be accessed:

  • always via the category bar by selecting Apps -> Chart Builder,
  • in the event that we have an overview of the company open, in the section on the left we select Corporate profile -> Stock Chart.

If we choose the second option, the chart of the company's stock that we were reviewing will be drawn automatically. To add another entity to the chart, enter the name of the desired company in the "Search for Entities" line.

To add time series of various financial data, we use METRICS above the chart. Some frequently used indicators are offered to us when we click on the search bar.

In this example, we will select Return on Equity and click Apply.

Let's edit the chart and set the display interval to 5 years (by selecting 5Y above). In the table below the display time interval we find the list of data/values/functions currently plotted on the graph. If we want to remove some value (for example, Volume), we can do it by clicking on the bin symbol.

To edit the display of individual data, select the marked button and then Edit Metric.

Export Options

By using the Save button at the top right, we can save the currently displayed chart for easy access in the future.

By clicking on Export, the currently drawn chart can be exported in various formats, including export to Excel, PDF, PNG/JPG and Word.

In the case of exporting the graph as Image (PNG, JPG), the result will look something like this.
