    • Yes to progressively add data to the preceding column; or
    • No to show just a single value in each column.
  8. In the Display the trend of Unreservedfield, choose either:
    • Yes to show the number of unresolved issues over time in a subplot; or
    • No otherwise.
  9. In the Display Versions? field, choose either:
    • All versions to show version release dates on the chart, for all released versions; or
