Pie Chart in Email Document Leave feedback

Note

In this article, we will use GroupDocs.Assembly to generate a Pie Chart report in Presentation Document format.

Note

The example reads the shop data described in The Business Layer.

Please follow below steps to create Pie Chart in MS Outlook 2013:

1. Create a new Email.
2. Click the “Insert” tab, and then click “Chart” in the illustrations group to open the “Insert Chart” dialog box.
3. Select “Pie”.
4. Preview “Pie” and press OK to insert the chart and Worksheet template to your email.
5. Edit the Worksheet with your data to update the chart.

As a report developer, you are required to share managers’ contract prices dynamically with the following key requirements:

• The report must be in .eml or .msg format.
• It must add email recipient, CSS and subject of the email.
• The report must show information on a Pie Chart.
• It must indicate customer name with value (price of the order).

Total Order Price<<foreach [in
customers]>><<x [CustomerName]>>

Please download the sample Pie Chart document we used in this article:

• pie-chart.msg

import json
from datetime import datetime

from groupdocs.assembly import DataSourceInfo, DocumentAssembler

def parse_dates(item):
    # JSON has no dates: turn the order dates into datetime objects for the template
    for key in ("OrderDate", "ShippingDate"):
        if key in item:
            item[key] = datetime.strptime(item[key], "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S")
    return item

with open("customers.json", encoding="utf-8") as f:
    customers = json.load(f, object_hook=parse_dates)

assembler = DocumentAssembler()
assembler.assemble_document("pie-chart.msg", "pie-chart-report.msg", [
    DataSourceInfo(customers, "customers"),
    DataSourceInfo("Harbor Lane Provisions <orders@harborlane.example>", "sender"),
    DataSourceInfo(["Quayside Bistro <orders@quaysidebistro.example>", "jonas.weber@harborlane.example"], "recipients"),
    DataSourceInfo("amara.osei@harborlane.example", "cc"),
    DataSourceInfo("Pie chart", "subject"),
])
