Create a Pie Chart

Pie Charts display data as a percentage of a Primary Indicator. For example, if you were wanting to report on the SMS Consent status for patients aged 16 or over, the Primary Indicator would be all active patients over 16, then you can see what percentage of these have a SMS Consent status.
