This functionality was primarily designed for use with embedded charts and enables piDashboard charts to be used in conjunction with screen reading software.

If the user is using a screen reader, and you don’t do anything in this tab, then the default system generated message for this chart will be read out. To see what that default system generated message would be click the ‘Generate the default message template for modification’ button  and the default message syntax will be displayed.

By default, the screen reader would read out the chart title “Employee Count by Age Group”, and any chart subtitle if this has been set up, and then “Where Age Group is 18-25 then Employee Count is” 123’’ and it would then repeat this information for each Age Group.

The default message is generated by the underling code behind the chart and can therefore by default look and sound quite programmatic. By manually editing the text, you can produce something that would be easier to understand. So, in the example shown above, editing the text to this would probably sound better.
