Charts
Charts allow you to highlight, on one or more dashboards, the evolution of the metrics concerning the entities of your choice. In fact, creating a new chart automatically adds an insert to the dashboards of your choice.
Composition
A chart is composed of a type, a size, a color, a data, an aggregate, a period, a set of dashboards and two attributes, one on the x-axis, the other on the y-axis. Only the attribute on the x-axis is required.
The data is the entity concerned by your chart. For example, tasks, users, meetings, etc.
The size is the width of your chart on your dashboard. The possible sizes are:
- Small
- Medium
- Large
- Extra large
The color is the dominant color of your chart. If the value is not specified, the color will be the color of your default configuration.
The type is the type of chart you want to display. Possible values are:
- Area chart
- Bar chart
- Column chart
- Geo chart
- Line chart
- Pie chart
- Scatter chart
The period allows limiting the data to a specific interval. It is possible to define a period among:
- Minute
- Hour
- Day
- Week
- Month
- Year
A chart is linked to one or more dashboards. In order to display your chart on the homepage of your back office, you must select one or more dashboards.
The y-axis attribute is, as the name suggests, the attribute that will be displayed on the y-axis. For logical reasons, the y-axis attribute is necessarily countable and therefore of type integer or float/decimal. For example, you can display the size of a file on y-axis.
It should also be noted that the y-axis attribute field is optional. A chart can only concern the data without the y-axis attribute.
The aggregate corresponds to the arithmetic operation that will be applied to the y-axis attribute. For example, if you want to display the sum of the weight of the files stored in your application on the y-axis, you select the data File, the y-axis attribute Size, and the aggregate Sum. Possible aggregates are:
- Maximum
- Minimum
- Average
- Sum
- Count
The x-axis attribute is, as the name suggests, the attribute that will be displayed on the x-axis. The available attributes are the fields in your data that are not hidden from users. For example, you can select a string field but not a password. It is also possible to group your data by calendar period. Possible periods are:
- Day
- Week
- Month
- Year
Case study
You want to display the total meetings per month on a dashboard. To do this, you select a chart type Column chart, an aggregate Total, a data Meeting, and a x-axis attribute Month.
