Collected Data Elements
Collected data consists of all pie slices which fall below a minmum value, and is indicated to the user with a special "collected" pie slice which has its own color/texture. This collected pie slice eliminates situations where there are numerous slices which can not be drawn properly (i.e. if there are twenty slices which are very small then the resulting pie chart would be very messy if there was no collected pie slice).
By default a NEW template will not display the last pie slice because it is collected. To view this last slice (which is collected and therefore not visible) open the Pie Element property page for ANY visible slice and set the Collected Data Limit to zero percent. This makes sure that no elements are collected (all pie slices will be visible). If you want to determine which slice is the collected slice open the same property page and set the Collected Data Limit to 100%, thereby causing all slices to be collected. The resulting pie chart will then display only the collected 'slice'. To change the texture/color of the collected slice right-click over it, select the Properties menu item and then choose the Textures property page.
A new template randomly sets the colors of the pie slices. The last slice is collected, so the collected pie slice is shown instead of the last slice.
The Collected Data Limit determines how small a slice must be before it is added to the collected slice. This can be either a percentage of the entire pie or an absolute value.
