Select a chart type
Charts are grouped into clusters. Select a chart type to reveal similar options. E.g., Select the Bar icon to reveal bar, column and combo chart types, as shown below.
Select and focus on a chart segment
If you see something in a chart that you want to explore further, you can select and focus on a segment (e.g., a column in a bar chart or wedge in a pie chart).
This isolates that segment, allowing you to dig further into the data, either staying in chart view or switching to grid view. If you switch to grid view, the focused data will stay focussed and this will be reflected on the dimension list. You can clear the selection by resetting or clicking the 'X' next to the dimension.
How focusing on a chart works
|
|
|
Original chart 1. Hovering displays information about a segment. | Select Fred, Owen and Harry 2. Selecting isolates the segment(s), causing the other segments to fade out. | Focus 3. Focusing removes all other segments. A filter icon appears next to the chart name. |
After focus, the filter details appear in the dashboard status bar, as shown below. Use the X or Reset to clear.
Save a chart as an image
If you want to print a chart or add it to a document or email, the simplest method is to download it as an image via Export > image, as shown below. You can then save the image and use as required.
Export from the dashboard
To export a chart directly from the dashboard, select the camera icon on the widget toolbar.
Amount of data displayed
By default, only the first 25 rows are included in a chart. Your administrator can change this setting. You can also choose to display a sum instead of individual values (see Chart options).
