Switch view from table to chart

Hello, 
 
In the interactive viewer recorded demo there is a moment when a table is changed to a pie chart with a right click and then "Switch view" (<a class='bbc_url' href='http://www.birt-exchange.com/demo/interactive-reporting/680-interactive-viewer-demo/'>Interactive Viewer Demo - BIRT Exchange</a>). 
 
However, I could not replicate this feature in the live demo. 
 
There is nothing in the Actuate 10 viewer documentation either. 
 
Does anyone know where I can find more information about this feature? 
 
Thank you in advance, 
 
SK

Hi SK, 
The switch view feature allows you switch between a chart representation of a BIRT table, and the "standard" view of a table. 
 
In order for this function to be available, you must create a Chart View of a table. This is done by right-clicking on the table and selecting "Create Chart View". This will open the chart editor and allow you to design the chart based on the tables data. 
 
I have created an example and posted it in the DevShare along with a link to a live example. Here is a link:
