Linked Content Report Widget

The Linked Content Report widget generates a graph that displays how many records in a repository have zero linked records, how many have one linked record, how many have two linked records, and so on, up to the indicated number of linked records. The values are displayed in a pie diagram, with each number of linked records assigned its own color. If desired, a Filter Legend can be displayed that indicates the value each color represents. Clicking on a color in the Filter Legend will remove or add that value from the display. Hovering the mouse over a wedge will bring up a pop-up window that indicates the value and how many records meet that criteria.
