Chart Types and Configuration

Pie Chart Data Configuration

INFO

The data used to configure the pie chart will be taken from a particular table from the tables feature or case management feature.

As a reminder, chart elements can expose raw data that may be sensitive, and therefore should not be used if you have concerns with viewers being able to see that information.

  1. Optional- Under the Filters section, using the [condition builder]condition builder, you can set specific records by condition(s) to filter the underlying data.
  1. Underneath the Group by section:

    • Next, choose the table column you want to group the pie chart by.

      1. If the selected column is a time period, you will see the Bucket by option, allowing you to categorize the time period. This will be shown as a legend on the right side of the pie chart.
    1. If the selected column contains user-related data, the ‘User Count’ option becomes available. This lets you choose how to group and count the data:
      • Distinct Count – Counts each user and group separately. If a record is linked to a specific user, that user’s name (or email) will appear in the legend. For example, in a pie chart, each slice represents an individual user or group
      • Aggregated View– Groups records by user groups instead of individual entities. The legend will only show group names, and the count will include all records linked to the group, including those assigned to individual users in the group.
  2. Underneath the Values section:

    1. If you select Record Count:
      • The Chart widget will show the total number of records available in the chosen source table.

    OR

    1. If you select Field Function (You can only add a Field Function if the selected column is a numeric value).
      • Choose a column: Time from Status Open to Status, Time in Status or Time to Assign
      • Choose the sum operation that will be used to calculate the selected column values: Sum, Maximum, Minimum, Average or Median.

Customize Widget Appearance

In the ‘Appearance Tab’, you can customize the appearance of a chart widget by selecting a color palette and customizing the legend, as well as the X and Y axis labels.

Widgets that display case severity data will use the default system color palette by default. However, you can customize the color palette to better suit your preferences.

  1. For the pie chart and donut chart widgets:
    • You can position the legend at the top, bottom, left, or right of the chart, or hide it entirely if you don’t want it to be displayed.
    • You can also enable a toggle option to display a custom title.

For Example

  1. For the bar chart, line chart, and scatter chart widgets:
    • To customize the selected chart, choose a single color from the palette by clicking the colored square next to the “Color” label. Then choose a single color to apply to the chart.
    • You can toggle options to display labels for the X and Y axes.

For Example

  1. Any other changes made in the Data tab, will be automatically applied to the widget in real time.

Deleting a Chart Widget
