Step 1

Find the actual breakdown pie

  1. Find the actual breakdown pie
  2. Match slice and legend evidence
  3. Read the selected type and period

The Trends breakdown pie matches the selected type, period and committed search.

Its legend uses matching colours and names.

This is a real production raised-pie drawable.

Step 2

Read amounts and percentages

  1. Read amounts and percentages
  2. Match slice and legend evidence
  3. Read the selected type and period

Each legend amount is that slice's numerator.

The denominator is the total selected breakdown activity.

Rounded percentages may not add to exactly one hundred.

Step 3

Keep different chart meanings separate

  1. Keep different chart meanings separate
  2. Match slice and legend evidence
  3. Read the selected type and period

Savings or Debt breakdown can split increases and reductions by sign.

The separate daily interest stack shows posted interest only.

Neither chart is automatically a loan principal balance.

Step 4

Understand an empty breakdown

  1. Understand an empty breakdown
  2. Match slice and legend evidence
  3. Read the selected type and period

A search with no matching saved evidence has no breakdown.

Try another term or clear the search.

An empty result does not invent a category or transaction.
