Accrual over Time (derived) Configuration

The most straightforward way to customize the derived accrual over time chart is by using a configuration object whose properties describe the behavior and appearance of the chart. Since the derived accrual over time chart is a Webcharts chart object, many default Webcharts settings are set in the webchartsSettings.js file as described below. Refer to the Webcharts documentation for more details on these settings.

In addition to the standard Webcharts settings several custom settings not available in the base Webcharts library have been added to the derived accrual over time chart to facilitate data mapping and other custom functionality. These custom settings are described in detail below. All defaults can be overwritten by users.
