Chart types and subtypes

Updated on April 5, 2022

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
