</td></tr></tbody></table>

**Warning!** If the SHOW LABELS field is set to YES, the SHOW VALUES will not display any results.  
If the SHOW LABELS field is set to NO instead, with the SHOW VALUES set to either VALUES or PERCENTAGES, it will show you the data on a single slice of the pie chart.  
The graphs are available in the Charts module, organised into folders in the same way as with Reports.  
The charts can also be added to the user’s Home Page through the button (see relevant chapter) or in the custom tabs of the modules.

Once the report is saved, it will be possible to **edit the charts** directly from the "Charts" module in vtenext. On this page, you can modify the parameters previously selected, and only here, you can determine the **label sorting** by using the "Data Order" option. This is particularly useful if you need to sort values alphabetically or arrange numbers in ascending/descending order.
