Element			Type	Description
key			string	Top level element, contains the ID of the custom subchapter.
body			Top level element (string)	The elements of the custom subchapter.
	access		list	Required. List of access control groups whose members can access the subchapter. To deny access to the subchapter, use "admin" as the only value for the element.
	chart		Top level element	Defines the properties of the chart generated from the database query.
		type	string	Defines the chart type. Use bar to generate a bar chart. You have to provide the y_axis_title element for bar charts (its can be null). Use pie to generate pie a chart. Use list to generate a list. You have to provide the column_titles element for lists (it can be null).
		y_axis_title	string	Required if the type element is set to bar. The name of the y axis for the generated bar chart.
		column_titles	list	Required if the type element is set to list. The column titles for the generated list.
	name		string	The name of the subchapter.
	query		string	The SQL database query for creating the subchapter. Caution: Generating a report that includes an Advanced statistics chapter that returns several thousands of entries requires significant CPU and memory resources from One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS). While generating such a partial report, the web interface of SPS can become slow or unresponsive.

Examples:

Create a bar chart with a custom title for the y-axis:

"chart": {
  "type": "bar",
  "y_axis_title": "Y_axis"
}

Create a pie chart:

"chart": {
  "type": "pie"
}

Create a list with custom column names:

"chart": {
  "column_titles": [
    "col1",
    "col2"
  ],
  "type": "list"
}
