Wyn Enterprise: Sparkline

In Wyn Enterprise, the Sparkline control is used to display data trends on a small graph in your reports. Sparkline shows the most recent value of the data at the rightmost point and compares it with an earlier value, allowing you to view general changes in the data over time. Sparkline control supports line, column, profit and loss, area, and stacked charts. Sparkline control can be embedded within tables for better understanding and analysis of business data.
