Oracle BI Answers supports a variety of standard chart types, including bar charts, column charts, line charts, area charts, pie charts, and scatter charts.

Pivot Table	Use the pivot table view to take row, column, and section headings and swap them around to obtain different perspectives. You can drag and drop headings to pivot results, preview them, and apply the settings. Users can navigate through pivot tables and drill down into information.

For an interactive result set, elements can be placed in pages, allowing users to choose elements. On the Criteria tab, you can click the following button to access the pivot table view.
Gauge	Use the gauge view to show results as gauges, such as dial, bar, and bulb-style gauges.
Filters	Use the filters view to show the filters in effect for a request. Filters allow you to constrain a request to obtain results that answer a particular question.

View Selector	Use the View Selector view to select a specific view of the results from among the saved views. When placed on a dashboard, the view selector appears as a drop-down list from which users can make a selection.
Legend	Use the Legend view to document the meaning of special formatting used in results, such as the meaning of custom colors applied to gauges.
Funnel Chart	Use the funnel chart view to show a three-dimensional chart that represents target and actual values using volume, level, and color. It is useful for depicting target values that decline over time, such as a sales pipeline.
Narrative	Use the narrative view to show the results as one or more paragraphs of text. You can type in a sentence with placeholders for each column in the results, and specify how rows should be separated.
Ticker	Use the ticker view to show the results of the request as a ticker or marquee, similar in style to the stock tickers that run across many financial and news sites on the Internet. You can control what information is presented and how it scrolls across the page.
Static Text	Use the static text view to include static text in the results. You can use HTML to add banners, tickers, ActiveX objects, Java applets, links, instructions, descriptions, graphics, and so on, in the results.
No Results	The no results view allows you to specify explanatory text to appear if the request does not return any results.
