RE: Hiding "Other" result in TopN reports

Adam,

Unfortunately it is not possible to hide the "Other" bar in the top n
reports. The "Other" bar does actually indicate some useful information. It
shows how significant the top n talkers etc. are when compared to the
overall traffic volume. If you hide the other bar, then you may think that
the top talker is significantly contributing to the traffic where he may not
be.

If you want to see more than the top 10 in the reports you can use
"resultTruncate=20", say, to see the top 20.
Have you also found that you can click on the graph (if you are using
"includeData=yes")to see the actual data values?

I hope that this helps,
