sitimechart

Use the summary indexing reporting commands (sichart, sitimechart, sistats, sitop, and sirare) to define the search that will populate the summary index. If you use these commands, you can use the same search string for the search that you eventually run on the summary index, with the exception that you use regular reporting commands (chart, timechart, stats, top, and rare, respectively) in the latter search.

Read more about the summary indexing reporting commands in "Use summary indexing for increased reporting efficiency" topic of the Knowledge Manager Manual.
