Chart types and subtypes
You can include charts in summarized reports.
The following chart types and subtypes are available:
- Area
– Displays data points with filled space rather than points, curves, or lines.
The following subtypes are available:
- Overlaid – Values are displayed as separate mountain ranges, usually with the property with the lowest overall values in front.
- Stacked – Values are displayed as layers in the chart at each data point.
- 100% – The total of all values at each data point equals 100% of the height of the chart.
- Pie
– Displays data as a circle that is divided into segments.
The following subtypes are available:
- Normal – The pie segments rest against each other.
- Exploded – The pie segments are pushed outward slightly from the center, allowing some white space between segments for readability.
- Doughnut – The center of the chart is uncolored. The segments form a circle, at a distance from the center of the chart, with the edges of contiguous segments touching. The segments illustrate how various child data contribute to the overall data.
- Bar
– Displays property values as horizontal bars.
The following subtypes are available:
- Clustered – Bars are grouped together. For example, divisional sales grouped by quarter.
- Stacked – The bars of a given group (divisional sales per quarter) are attached so that the resulting bar represents total sales for the quarter.
- 100% – The bars of each group are attached, but the total for each resulting bar is always 100% of the width of the chart.
- Column
– Displays values as vertical bars.
The following subtypes are available:
- Clustered – Columns are grouped together. For example, divisional sales grouped by quarter.
- Stacked – The columns of a given group (divisional sales per quarter) are stacked together so that the resulting column represents total sales for the quarter.
- 100% – Each group's columns are stacked together, but the total for each resulting column is always 100% of the height of the chart.
- Line
– Displays values connected by a line. The following subtypes are available:
- Curved – Changes in values are represented by a curved line.
- Segment – Changes in values are indicated by sometimes-sharp changes in the angle of the line. Values over time (or some other factor) are represented by the line.
- Step – Changes in values are represented as steps either higher or lower, with the first entry as a horizontal step representing the first value.
- Reverse Step – Changes in values are represented as steps either higher or lower, with the first entry as a vertical step from the first to the second value.
- Horizontal – Changes in values are represented as points along a horizontal line.
- Gauge
– Displays a single value as a meter reading. If the gauge chart includes thresholds, a manager can quickly review the chart to determine whether the value is within a targeted range. The following subtypes are available:
- 270 degree arch
- Speedometer
- Progress
- Half dial
- Half arch
- Dial
- Linear
- Horizontal LED
- Vertical LED
- Cylinder
- Thermometer
- Progress
