How to create Comparison across Period chart in a dashboard?

How to create Comparison across Period chart in a dashboard?

Hi all

How can I create this chart in a custom dashboard?


The issue for me is that this chart is very small. The CRM module (unlike Projects module) has no ability to expand a chart. I want to make it larger, but also want to include it in a custom Forecast dashboard I'm building. 

I can't see how to add a line to a chart, and I can't get the right grouping for the periods.

It would be awesome if a customer could go to a link and input a "title, username, password, url" all securely and it then shows up in our team vault or something. Not sure if that is safe, but it's the best I can think of to be semi scalable and obviously better than sending emails. I am open to another idea, just thought this would be a great feature.  Thanks,

Yes, it's easy to 'Split as new Ticket', but I'd like something automated to respond to the user saying "this ticket has already been resolved and closed, please submit a new ticket". What's the best way to achieve this? Thanks, Ed
