Distribution charts show the current status of change requests. Use distribution charts to show how many records fall into defined categories or match the values that you specify. For example, you can see how the workload is distributed across your team by running a distribution chart that shows the number of defects assigned to each developer.
Aging and trend charts show historical information about change requests. For example, you can run an aging chart to see how many defects your team has resolved in each month over the past year. Because aging and trend charts help you track the state-transition history of a record, only state-based records can be used to create aging and trend charts.
Using the Rational ClearQuest Client, you can render a traditional data-push chart that was created with the Rational ClearQuest for Windows client only if both the ClearQuest Web server and the Rational ClearQuest Client client are running on a Windows system.
