- On Slices
  Select to display the static data labels on the donut sections (slices).
Auto Scale in Number
Select true if you want to automatically scale the values that are of the Number data type when the values fall into the two ranges:
- When 1000 <= value < 10^15, Report uses the following quantity unit symbols of the International System of Units to scale the values: K (10^3), M (10^6), G (10^9), and T (10^12).
- When 0 < value < 0.001 or value >= 10^15, Report uses scientific notation to scale the values.
The default value auto means that the setting follows that of the chart platform.
Show Truncated Label
Select to truncate labels that would go beyond the boundaries on a donut chart paper instead of them being hidden altogether - the default behavior. Report displays an ellipsis (…) from the right side of the label, along with part of the name instead of the entire name, when you enable this property. The truncated labels are also affected if you select the Position property of Best Fit (as seen above); where the label is cut off from the left or the right depending on the position of the label.
Show Donut Name
Select true to show the names of the donuts.
Donut Hole
Specify the percentage the hole's thickness will take from the total radius of the pie circle.

Show KPI Value
Select to show KPI value for each donut and enable the two properties:
- KPI Value

Then, type a value in the text box, or select the formula button and select a formula or summary from the list to use its value as the KPI value.
- Position
  Specify the position of the KPI value at the center, top, bottom of each donut, or select customized which enables setting the X and Y properties to change the position.
